- What is the importance of proton transfer in the formation of ester? A.The carbonyl carbon is easily attacked by the nucleophile. B. The oxygen that has been attached to the two alkyl groups will become stable. C. The removal of a bulky substituent attached to the reactive site stabilizes the compound. D. none of the abovearrow_forwardWhat two β-keto esters are formed in the Dieckmann reaction of the attached diester?arrow_forwardWhen performing a Grignard reaction it is also very important that the reaction be free from acetone (a chemical we commonly use to clean the glassware). Why must the glassware be free from acetone? A. Acetone reacts with the diethyl ether causing a side reaction to occur B. Acetone is a nucleophile that will react with the Grignard reagent C.
