One way to synthesize carbonyls is to cause these chemicals to undergo a saponification, protonation, and heat decomposition to liberate carbon dioxide. The utility of these multi-coupling reagents stems from the fact that, of their four structural carbons, two belong to different electrophilic groups and two are nucleophiles for different groups, which allows selective bonding to all four. These compounds are the major products in the reaction of two compounds of the form R-C-O-O-R-prime under base catalysis. These may be understood generally as the result of attaching a carbonyl to the product of a reaction between an acid and an alcohol. For 10 points, name this class of compounds of which the aforementioned Claisen condensation produces beta- forms.
