Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The parent acid for the given ester molecule has to be identified from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
Esters are prepared by condensation of
Esterification reaction is the one in which the carboxylic acid is condensed with an alcohol (or phenol) in presence of strong acid catalyst to produce ester. The general reaction scheme can be given as,
In the above reaction, hydroxyl group is lost from carboxylic acid and hydrogen is lost from alcohol molecule to form water as the byproduct.
