Carbonyl
Condensation Reactions
Why this Chapter?
Carbonyl condensation reactions also occur
often in metabolic pathways.
Also one of the general methods used to form
C-C bonds.
Condensation Reactions
Carbonyl
General Condensations
The aldol
reaction is
reversible,
favoring
the
condensati
on product
only for
aldehydes
with no
substituent
Steric
factors are
increased
in the aldol
product
5
reactions, like
all carbonyl
condensations,
occur by
nucleophilic addition
of the enolate ion of
the donor molecule
to the carbonyl
group of the
acceptor molecule
The addition
intermediate is
protonated to give
an alcohol product
6
After
the
condensation, the
basic catalyst is
regenerated

Similar to aldol
condensation:
nucleophilic acyl
substitution of an
ester enolate ion on
the carbonyl group of
a the
second
ester
If
starting
ester has more
molecule
than
one acidic a hydrogen,
the product -keto ester has
a doubly activated proton
that can be abstracted by
base
