(a)
Interpretation:
Condensed structural formula for the organic product that is formed when butanoyl chloride reacts with water has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Acid chlorides are organic derivatives of carboxylic acid. The difference between carboxylic acid and acid chloride structure is that the
Acid chlorides react with water to give carboxylic acid and hydrogen chloride. The carboxylic acid formed from acid chloride is the parent carboxylic acid. The general reaction scheme of acid chloride reaction with water can be given as,
(b)
Interpretation:
Condensed structural formula for the organic product that is formed when butanoic anhydride reacts with water has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Acid anhydrides are organic derivatives of carboxylic acid. The difference between carboxylic acid and acid anhydride structure is that the
Acid anhydride on reaction with water undergoes hydrolysis to form two carboxylic acid molecules. If the acid anhydride is a symmetric one, then two molecules of same carboxylic acid is obtained on hydrolysis. If the acid anhydride is an asymmetric one, the two molecules of two different carboxylic acid molecules are obtained. The general reaction can be given as,
