The Dieckmann condensation, where a molecule with two ester groups reacts intramolecularly, forming a cyclic β-keto ester. In this case, the ring formed must not be strained, usually a 5- or 6-membered chain or ring. Retro-Claisen condensation is the reverse of the title reaction, i.e., the base-induced cleavage of 2-ketoesters
All thiolases, whether they are biosynthetic or degradative in vivo, preferentially catalyze the degradation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA to form acetyl-CoA and a shortened acyl-CoA species, but are also capable of catalyzing the reverse Claisen condensation reaction (reflecting the negative Gibbs energy change of the degradation, which is independent of ...
This reaction is important for energy generation and for carbon assimilation. The reaction proceeds via a non-covalently bound citryl-coenzyme A intermediate in a 2-step process (aldol-Claisen condensation followed by the hydrolysis of citryl-CoA).
Oxaloacetic acid (also known as oxalacetic acid or OAA) is a crystalline organic compound with the chemical formula HO 2 CC(O)CH 2 CO 2 H. Oxaloacetic acid, in the form of its conjugate base oxaloacetate, is a metabolic intermediate in many processes that occur in animals.

The reaction is known as the Claisen reaction and was described by Claisen for the first time in 1890. Discovered the thermally induced rearrangement of allyl phenyl ether in 1912. He details its reaction mechanism in his last scientific publication (1925). In his honor, the reaction has been named the Claisen rearrangement.
The ACP-bound elongation group reacts in a Claisen condensation with the KS-bound polyketide chain under CO 2 evolution, leaving a free KS domain and an ACP-bound elongated polyketide chain. The reaction takes place at the KS n -bound end of the chain, so that the chain moves out one position and the elongation group becomes the new bound group.
The Dieckmann condensation is the intramolecular chemical reaction of diesters with base to give β-keto esters. [1] It is named after the German chemist Walter Dieckmann (1869–1925). [2] [3] The equivalent intermolecular reaction is the Claisen condensation. Dieckmann condensations are highly effective routes to 5-, 6-, and 7-member rings ...
