The Dieckmann condensation is the intramolecular chemical reaction of diesters with base to give β-keto esters.[1] It is named after the German chemist Walter Dieckmann (1869–1925).[2][3] The equivalent intermolecular reaction is the Claisen condensation.

The Dieckmann condensation

Reaction mechanism

Deprotonation of an ester at the α-position generates an enolate ion which then undergoes a 5-exo-trig nucleophilic attack to give a cyclic enol. Protonation with a Brønsted-Lowry acid (H3O+ for example) re-forms the β-keto ester.[4]

Dieckmann condensation reaction mechanism for the example given

Due to the steric stability of five- and six-membered rings, these structures will preferentially be formed. 1,6 diesters will form five-membered cyclic β-keto esters, while 1,7 diesters will form six-membered β-keto esters.[5]
