Self-condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate in presence of sodium ethoxide yields

A

Methyl acetoacetate

B

ethyl propionate

C

ethyl butyrate

D

acetoacetic ester

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5) + CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5) overset (C_(2)H_(5)Ona) to CH_(3)COCH_(2)COOC_(2)H_(5)`
This is Clasen condensation shown by aldehydes lacking with `alpha-H` atom.
