Question

The reaction background is in the screenshot. Draw the reaction mechanism using arrow pushing. Thanks.

Synthesis The reaction involves the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol to form an ester. The reaction is reversible, and so to help drive the equilibrium to the right, water needs to be removed from the reaction. In this experiment you will use azeotropic distillation of water to prepare an ester, n-butyl acetate. OH OH 1-butanol acetic acid H+ + H₂O n-butyl acetate
