Interpretation:
Ionic form structural formula of the organic products that are formed from phosphorylation reaction of methyl ester of diphosphoric acid with ethyl alcohol has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Esters are obtained when an acid react with an alcohol. If the considered acid is a
Phosphoric acid has three hydroxyl groups. Hence, it can form three types of esters. They are mono-, di-, and tri- ester of phosphoric acid. The ionic form of the phosphoric ester contains the terminal phosphate group. Transfer of the phosphoryl group from one molecule to another is known as phosphorylation reaction.
