Self-condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate

I have heard of ancient chemical experts, who have studied the wonders of self-condensation of two moles of ethyl acetate.

In a quiet alchemy room, put refined utensils. Take ethyl acetate, and the amount is accurate, to get two moles. With sodium alcohol as a guide, this sodium alcohol is strong in nature and good at opening the end of the synthesis.

When it is, the room is quiet, and only a whisper is heard. Ethyl acetate is in the utensils, and with the help of sodium alcohol, it starts to move between molecules. Its ethyl acetate molecule, on the carbonyl side, is lured by sodium alcohol, and the electronic cloud is offset, like a pond. The alpha-hydrogen of the other ethyl acetate molecule is active and detached. If a bird leaves the branch, it will merge with the alcohol group of sodium alcohol. The remainder of the original ethyl acetate molecule, such as a bird without feathers, shows nucleophilicity at the carbonyl group, and embraces the hydrogen-deficient part of other molecules.

The two are connected to form a new structure. This new product has the bone of the old molecule, and there is also a new chapter of synthesis. In the process of reaction, the molecules may advance or retreat, but the general trend is towards condensation. Over time, looking at its changes, I see that the things in the kettle are gradually condensing, and the color is like light yellow jade. This is the fruit of condensation.

The person who transforms is by the side, recording its changes in detail, observing the ups and downs of temperature, and observing the changes of the state of matter. With a rigorous heart, remember every moment of transformation, and want to exhaust the secret of this condensation. Leave subtle methods and precious experience for future generations of researchers, so that future generations can step more steadily and explore deeper on the road of chemistry.
