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. Dieckmann condensations are highly effective routes to 5-, 6-, and 7-member rings, but poor for larger rings.[4]
