Aldol Reaction and Claisen Condensation (Enol / Enolate Reactions) including Reaction, Mechanism, and timesaving shortcut.

We’ll begin with an overview of the enol and enolate including formation, resonance and stability. We’ll use this to break down both the Aldol Condensation Reaction and the Claisen (and Dieckmann) Condensation Reactions

We’ll look at reaction, mechanism and conditions for both Aldol and Claisen,
Along with my timesaving shortcut to help you easily recognize when a condensation reaction took place, as well as how to undo or reverse Aldol, Claisen and Dieckmann by simply studying the substituent pattern.

We’ll do plenty of practice along the way, which you can continue after with the Aldol/Claisen practice worksheet. Download it here on my website: https://leah4sci.com/orgolive
