Question
Chapter 11.14, Problem 27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for the reaction of an acyl chloride with acetate ion to form an acid anhydride.
Concept introduction:
The reaction of an acyl chloride with acetate ion is a nucleophilic substitution reaction. The acetate ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acyl chloride. The attack results in the formation of a tetrahedral intermediate. Some chloride group attached to the carbonyl carbon acts as a leaving group in the reaction and results in the collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate to form the corresponding anhydride.

What would happen if the carboxylic acid and alcohol groups were on the same molecule? In
essence, the molecule reacts with itself. Draw the structure of the products formed in this manner
using the reactants below. If two functional groups interact with one another on the same molecule,
this is called an “intramolecular" (within one) rather than "intermolecular" (between two or more)
attack.
