(a)
Interpretation:
To predict the products of the following transesterification reaction.
Concept Introduction:
Transesterification is the process of formation of a new ester molecule from the reaction of alcohol and an ester. This is like hydrolysis of ester but here nucleophile is alcohol molecule instead of

- One possible side-reaction of this experiment is biphenyl, explain how it can be formed. Here is the oringial reaction bromobenzene ----->magnesium. product is benze ring with MgBr attached to ringarrow_forwardWhat is the order of reactivity of SN1 and SN2 of n-butyl chloride, n-butyl bromide, sec-butyl chloride, tert-butyl chloride and crotyl chloride. Why? Sn2- with NaI/acetone and Sn1- with AgNO3/ethanolarrow_forwardIn this study, the researcher compared S N 2 and E2reaction rates for four substrates. Three of the substrates had a second halogen on the bposition in the molecule. This work also compared the behavior of two nucleophiles:dianion I and II. You should read the abstract and look at Scheme 1 (p. 3082) and Table 4(p. 3086). Abstract: The gas-phase reactions of benzoate and phenolate containing dianions with a series of ‚-substitutedalkyl bromides (X-CH2CH2Br, X ) H, F, Cl, Br) have been studied in a quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometer.Branching ratios between SN 2 and E2 products were measured and rate constants were determined. The‚-halogens increase both the S N 2 and E2 rates, but the effect is greater for the latter process and thereforethese substituents lead to an increase in the amount of elimination. The kinetic data for the SN 2 reactions canbe analyzed via a two-parameter, linear free-energy relationship and the results indicate that field-effects (i.e.,electron-withdrawing…arrow_forward
