What' s the different between Aldol condensation and Claisen condensation?

In: Rain and Flooding, Organic Chemistry, Evaporation and Condensation [Edit categories]

Answer:

Aldol condensation is the reaction of two aldehydes in the presence of a basic catalyst. The aldol condensation leads to an aldol product, in which an hydroxyl group is attached to the beta carbon of an aldehyde.
Claisen condensation is similar to aldol condensation, but is involves two esters instead of two aldehydes. The product of a Claisen condensation is a beta-keto-ester, a compound characterized by an ester with its alpha carbon being a ketone.
