Seema Sinha Solutions for Chapter: Aliphatic and Aromatic Aldehydes and Ketones, Exercise 6: DPP 5.6

Show which esters would undergo Claisen condensation to give the following $\beta$-ketoester.

$\mathrm{PhCHO}+{\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{CO}\right)}_2\mathrm{O}\frac{\left(1\right){\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{COONa}}{\left(2\right)\mathrm{hydrolysis}}\to \mathrm{A}\stackrel{\mathrm{HBr}}{\to }\mathrm{B}$

The product B is:
