The Darzens Condensation: Structure Determination through Spectral Analysis and Understanding Substrate Reactivity
Crouch, R. David; Holden, Michael S.; Romany, Candice A.
Journal of Chemical Education, v81 n5 p711-712 May 2004
The use of KOH and a phase transfer catalyst to achieve diastereoselective Darzens condensation is described and a modification of the method for use in organic chemistry is carried out. The experiment involves the condensation of t-butyl chloroacentate and p-tolualdehyde with KOH and benzyltriethylammonium chloride in THF.
