Chad provides a comprehensive lesson on Claisen Condensation reactions. A self Claisen reaction is used to introduce the topic and a detailed mechanism including all arrow-pushing is presented. The lesson concludes with the use of LDA to carry out mixed (aka crossed) Claisen Condensations and an example of the Dieckmann Condensation, an intramolecular Claisen Condensation of a di-ester.
