When 2-methyl-2-carboethoxycyclopentanone is treated with sodium ethoxide in ethanol solution followed by a mild aqueous acid work-up, 5-methyl-2-carboethoxycyclopentanone is isolated as the major product. This reaction proceeds by a reverse Claisen condensation mechanism followed by a recyclization. On the structures provided below, show electron flow with arrows in this interesting reaction.
