In the given reaction (Where Et is - C 2 H 5 ) The number of chiral carbon/s in product A is

Correct answer

Step-by-step solution

This reaction is an example of intra molecular Claisen condensation reaction. The mechanism of the Claisen condensation reaction proceeds with the removal of an alpha proton through the action of a strong base to result in the formation of an enolate ion. This results the formation products as follows,
