Chapter 15, Problem 58P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To identify the reagents used to convert methyl propanoate to the following compounds.

Concept introduction:

A reagent is a substance used to convert one chemical compound into another.

The structural formula for methyl propanoate is:

Organic Chemistry, Books a la Carte Edition (8th Edition), Chapter 15, Problem 58P , additional homework tip  1

This compound can be converted into different compounds by undergoing a chemical reaction with reagents like water, NaOH. In general, the reaction is a nucleophilic reaction in which the nucleophile from the reagent attacks the carbonyl carbon of methyl propanoate and the (OCH3) group eliminates because it is a good leaving group.

(b)
