Malonic Ester
Malonic ester is another name for diethyl
malonate.
The "malonic ester synthesis" uses diethyl
malonate as a reactant for the preparation of
carboxylic acids.

an Aldol!
{Aldehyde / Alcohol}

The product of an aldol condensation is
– a b-hydroxyaldehyde…nucleophilic acyl
substitution is not possibe here….why??
The Aldol Condensation
Chemistry 328N
Loss of water!
• Aldol products are easily dehydrated so the major
product is an a,b-unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

The reaction actually proceeds
via the resonance stabilized
enolate anion and unlike the

fashion!

A Note about Aldol Reactions
aldol reactions are reversible and,
particularly for ketones, there is often
little aldol present at equilibrium. Keq
for dehydration is generally large
and, if reaction conditions bring
about dehydration, good yields of
product can be obtained
It takes special efforts to isolate an Aldol…the product is
generally the a,b -unsaturated aldehyde or ketone

Crossed Aldol Reactions
In a “crossed aldol” reaction, one kind of
molecule provides the enolate anion and
another kind provides the carbonyl group
In most cases, this makes a big fat mess!!

The Crossed Aldol Reaction
Chemistry 328N
Look…no a-hydrogens…. so no enolate anions!!
Crossed Aldol Reactions
Crossed aldol reactions only work if:– one of the reactants has no a-hydrogen and,
therefore, cannot form an enolate anion and
– the other reactant has a very reactive carbonyl
group, namely an aldehyde

running a crossed aldol reaction
Does the addition sequence matter??
What goes into the pot first, second and third?

The Signature Page
Claisen Condensation: b-ketoesters
Dieckmann: Cyclic b-ketoesters
Acetoacetic ester synthesis: decorated acetones
Malonic ester synthesis: decorated acetic acids
Aldol: a, b-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones
Grignard Reaction: Alcohols…, etc.

is usually unfavorable but can be driven by dehydration

Aldol Reactions Intramolecular aldol reactions
(when the enolate anion and the
carbonyl acceptor are in the
same molecule) are most
successful for formation of five-
