Chapter 5, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formula of isoamyl acetate is to be written on the basis of the given information.

Concept introduction:

An ester is a derivative of carboxylic acid.

Ester is derived by replacing the OH (hydroxyl) group in the carboxyl group by an Oalkyl (alkoxy) group.

The ester with the formula C8H16O2 gives an alcohol and an acid when hydrolyzed. When the alcohol is isolated and oxidized, it forms a ketone. Which of these formulas cannot be the ester?
Assume for the purposes of this problem that to be an alcohol (-ol) or an amine (-amine), the hydroxyl or amino group must be bonded to a tetrahedral (sp3 hybridized) carbon atom. Write the structural formula of a compound with an unbranched chain of four carbon atoms that is an: Q. Alkanol
