to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the user who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.@MindfulMaven claisen condensation lag rha
kyunki alpha hydrogen hai and EtONa hai
nut reaction beech me vary kr skta
dekhta mai
Given Answer is D
Can you suggest the mechanism...?
nah claisen nahi hoga, mb, no alpha hydrogen
Hmmm...
@Comrade Rock Astley Help me..
Ring will be opened as Etona will take h+ as it is good base and stable Carbocation will be formed and will get attacked by the carnation that will form
Can you send written solution?
I am currently in my coaching will take time to come home and figure that out mate maybe some hrs
@!Nimay¡ help me out!
You might have this
EtO- abstracts a hydrogen from the carbon that’s meta to the ketone
Then this might happen

What's the answer then I didn't get it actually
Perhaps...given answer is D
Sorry I was out at that time
Yeah at that time I was wondering about B and D
You’d have a similar mechanism for D
The difference is that the anion is in resonance with the carbonyl group
@iTeachChem Sir what’s your opinion on this?
Make carbanion at the left (so it stays in conjugation with the carbonyl group)
yeah
(correction)
Got it
B would form as the kinetic product or a minor product
D is definitely more stable
So yeah it's D
But after that we let it through hydrolysis ig...in order to get the answer right.
But water is not mentioned in the question.
...?
It’s understood that the solvent is water
Btw nimay is @!Nimay¡ xD
Consider krlo
Okay tnx!
