A version of this reaction occurring within a molecule that is useful in making five and six membered rings is named for Dieckmann.
In the degradation of threonine to glycine, the PLP aided reverse of this reaction liberates a sulfur containing compound. The reverse of this reaction is also carried out by thiolases in the primary pathway that compounds like oleic acid and this reaction occurs between acyl synthase and malonyl-CoA in fatty acid synthesis. One version of this reaction creates Ethyl 2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate from Diethyl hexanedioate. Unlike mechanistically similar reaction, in this reaction the OR group is expelled to collapse the tetrahedral intermediate. A version of this reaction occurring within a molecule that is useful in making five and six membered rings is named for Dieckmann. For 10 points, name this base catalyzed reaction between two esters that yields a beta-keto ester.
