Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To predict the products of the following transesterification reaction.
(a)
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
