Study Of The Claisen Condensation (1908)

""A Study of the Claisen Condensation"" is a book written by Ernest Elisha Gorsline in 1908. The Claisen condensation is a chemical reaction that involves the formation of a carbon-carbon bond between two esters or one ester and a ketone. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the Claisen condensation reaction, including its mechanism, kinetics, and applications in organic chemistry. The author discusses the different types of Claisen condensations, such as intramolecular, intermolecular, and mixed Claisen condensations. The book also covers the factors that affect the reaction rate, such as temperature, solvent, and catalysts. Furthermore, the author presents various examples of the Claisen condensation reaction in organic synthesis, including the synthesis of beta-keto esters, beta-diketones, and beta-hydroxy esters. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers in the field of organic chemistry who are interested in the Claisen condensation reaction and its applications.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
