  45. 21.10 Reactions of LDA-Generated Ester EnolatesLithium diisopropylamide (LDA)

  46. Deprotonation of Simple Esters • Ethyl acetoacetate (pKa ~11) and diethyl malonate (pKa ~13) are completely deprotonated by alkoxide bases. • Simple esters (such as ethyl acetate) are not completely deprotonated, the enolate reacts with the original ester, and Claisen condensation occurs. • Are there bases strong enough to completely deprotonate simple esters, giving ester enolates quantitatively?

  47. CH3 CH3 – + •• Li C N C H H •• CH3 CH3 Lithium diisopropylamide • Lithium dialkylamides are strong bases (just as NaNH2 is a very strong base). • Lithium diisopropylamide is a strong base, but because it is sterically hindered, does not add to carbonyl groups.
