Aldol and Claisen Condensation Paths
Description
Aldol condensation and Claisen condensation are two carbonyl reactions that begin in a similar way but end with different products. Aldol condensation can happen with aldehydes or ketones and is acid- or base-catalyzed. Claisen condensation is a base-promoted reaction between ester molecules that forms a β-ketoester.

Transcript
La condensazione aldolica avviene tra aldeidi o chetoni per dare composti carbonilici α,ꞵ-insaturi, mentre la condensazione di Claisen avviene tra due molecole di estere per produrre un ꞵ-chetoestere.
La condensazione aldolica avviene in condizioni acide e basiche, mentre la condensazione di Claisen avviene solo in condizioni basiche, e i...
