What product would you expect from the following mixed Claisen-like reaction?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The product from the above reactants when they undergo a mixed Claisen-like reaction are acetate and alcohol.

Step by step solution

01

Concept

A mixed Claisen reaction is effective when only one of the two partners has an acidic α- hydrogen atom and the other does not.

therefore, one form of acetate can convert into an enolate ion hence one is a donor and another is an accepter.

02

Chemical reaction occurs (Mixed Claisen reaction):
