FTP, identify this carbon-carbon bond forming reaction which creates a beta-keto ester or beta diketone.
The FabH enzyme catalyzes this reaction between malonyl-ACP and acetyl CoA in E. Coli.  A variation of it using weaker reagents on a succinic acid derivative is named after Stobbe.  Because of the formation of a doubly alpha position, it mandates that a base in a stochiometric amount must be used, and this base is not regenerated by the reaction.  This neutralization of the base also allows the addition of acid at the end of the reaction without competition from the reverse reaction.  An intramolecular version of this reaction, which is possible with diesters, is known as the Diekmann condensation.
