Formation of β-keto esters from esters and alkoxide bases is known as the
A. Wittig reaction. B. Wolf-Kishner reduction. C. Clemmensen reduction. D. Aldol condensation. E. Claisen condensation.



So people who've taken the achiever know the answer, but can someone explain all these reactions to me in the word terminology, when i see the reactions i know which one is which, but when they use Bketo esters or ylides and such descriptions, i get lost. Will someone be willing to give me one liners on the above mentioned reactions.
