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.
