The mechanism of the Fischer esterification was controversial until 1938, when IrvingRoberts and Harold Urey of Columbia University used isotopic labeling to follow thealcohol oxygen atom through the reaction. A catalytic amount of sulfuric acid was addedto a mixture of 1 mole of acetic acid and 1 mole of special methanol containing the heavy18O isotope of oxygen. After a short period, the acid was neutralized to stop the reaction,and the components of the mixture were separated.H2SO4OCH3 C O H CH3 O H CH3 C O CH3 H2OO18 + +(a) Propose a mechanism for this reaction.(b) Follow the labeled 18O atom through your mechanism, and show where it is found inthe products.(c) The 18O isotope is not radioactive.
