Organic Chemistry Portal - Claisen Condensation
Claisen condensation is one of those reactions that shows up in the AAMC materials even though it's not on the topic list. AAMC seems to consider it a figure of merit to know about Claisen condensation. They're likely not to be too hard about it, but you should be familiar with this mechanism to keep your footing in a passage if it comes up.
