1. Esters can be formed by the condensation of a carboxylic acid with the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol. a) Use structures to show the condensation of acetic acid (IUPAC: ethanoic acid) with the hydroxyl of cyclohexanol. b) Explain why 'condensation' is an appropriate name for this reaction. c) You'll synthesize the ester in aspirin by condensing the phenol group of salicylic acid not with acetic acid, but with acetic anhydride. Explain why the experiment calls for the use of an anhydride, rather than an acid.
