The compound shown below is the product of a Claisen condensation. Draw structural formulas for the reactants: ester and enolate ion:
Assume all esters to be ethyl esters. Do not include counter-ions, e.g., Na+, I-, in your answer. Draw the enolate ion in its carbanion form. Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. Separate multiple reactants using the + sign from the drop-down menu.
