Form the enolate
Ethoxide removes an α-hydrogen next to one of the two ester groups of diethyl adipate, giving an enolate at that end of the chain.
Las flechas curvas
- A lone pair on the ethoxide takes the α-hydrogen.
- The C–H bonding pair stays on the α-carbon, forming the enolate.
Enolate attacks the acceptor carbonyl
The nucleophilic α-carbon adds to the carbonyl carbon of the other ester group of the same molecule, and the C=O π electrons move onto oxygen to give a tetrahedral alkoxide.
Las flechas curvas
- The enolate carbon's lone pair forms the new C–C bond.
- The C=O π pair moves onto oxygen, keeping the carbonyl carbon at an octet.
Which atoms close the ring?
Intramolecular acyl addition.
Collapse and expel ethoxide
The alkoxide re-forms the C=O bond and pushes out ethoxide, completing the acyl substitution and giving the β-dicarbonyl compound.
Las flechas curvas
- An oxygen lone pair re-forms the C=O π bond.
- The C–O bond breaks and ethoxide leaves with the bonding pair.
Deprotonate the β-dicarbonyl product
The hydrogen on the carbon between the two carbonyls (pKa ≈ 9–11) is far more acidic than ethanol, so ethoxide removes it. This favorable step consumes the base and drives the reversible condensation to completion.
Las flechas curvas
- The alkoxide lone pair takes the doubly activated hydrogen.
- The C–H pair stays on carbon, delocalized over both carbonyls.
Acidic workup
Hydronium, added in a separate workup, protonates the stabilized anion on carbon to give the neutral β-dicarbonyl product.
Las flechas curvas
- The carbanion lone pair bonds to a proton of hydronium.
- The O–H pair returns to oxygen, releasing water.
Ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate
The product is ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate. The enolate carbon and the far ester carbonyl carbon are five atoms apart, so the intramolecular Claisen (Dieckmann) closes a strain-free five-membered ring.
Qué vas a practicar
Draw the Dieckmann cyclization of diethyl adipate to ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate, including the product-trapping deprotonation and workup.
