What ester is formed when butanoic acid
a.
b.
c.
d.
(a)
Interpretation:
The ester formed on treating butanoic acid with CH3OH in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction which results in the formation of at least one ester along with water on heating acids with alcohols is said to be esterification.
Answer to Problem 17.67P
Explanation of Solution
The reaction which results in the formation of at least one ester along with water on heating acids with alcohols is said to be esterification.
The general reaction is written as:
Thus, the reaction between CH3CH2CH2COOH (butanoic acid) and methanol is:
(b)
Interpretation:
The ester formed on treating butanoic acid with CH3CH2CH2OH in the presence of H2SO4 should be determined.
