Esterification reactions, such as the one below, is a poor synthetic strategy as it leads to poor yields of the ester. What alternative could be done to produce more p-methylphenyl acetate? H20 HO Replace the p-methylphenol with p-chlorotoluene. Replace acetic acid with acetate. O Replace acetic acid with acetyl chloride. O Replace the aromatic alcohol with a phenolate.

Step 1: The carboxylic acid contains six carbons and the starting material should be an alkyl halide of five carbons or less, so you should look for a method of generating carboxylic acids by adding a carbon. One method of synthesizing carboxylic acids is from the hydrolysis of nitriles, which can be formed by substitution of alkyl halides. Identify the structure that contains a nitrile.
