Acetoacetic-Ester Condensation (Claisen Condensation)
Formation of aceto-acetic-ester by the reaction of sodium ethoxide with ethyl acetate is called Claisen Condensation reaction or The Claisen Condensation reaction between Esters (containing α-hydrogens), in the presence of Bases such as sodium ethoxide, gives β-ketoesters via stabilized anion of the β-keto Ester.
Favorskii Rearrangement
What is Favorskii Rearrangement explain? Favorskii Rearrangement is organic reaction of α-halo ketones (chlorine, bromine, or iodine) having at least one α-hydrogen, with a nucleophile (alcohol, amine, or H2O) in the presence base (usually an alkoxide or hydroxide) give carboxylic acids or carboxylic acid derivatives via a cyclopropanone intermediate. It is widely used organic reaction … Read more
Baeyer-Villiger Rearrangement (Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation):
The conversion of ketone (cyclic ketone, aromatic ketone, aliphatic ketone) into corresponding esters (lactones) by using MCBPA, or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant and a Lewis acid is known as Baeyer-Villiger oxidation (Baeyer-Villeger Reaction).
