(b)
Interpretation: The mechanism of the given reactions is to be written.
Concept introduction: The carboxylic acid and its derivatives undergo nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. The incoming group is called as nucleophile and the substituent that departs from molecule is known as leaving group. If the attacking group is a good base as compared to the substiuent that is already present than attacking group will replace the existing substituent.

- 5. Draw the structure of following compounds: a. methyl butanoate b. propyl ethanoate c. ethyl propanoate d. ethyl 3-methylhexanoate e. butyl hexanoate f. methyl 2-hexyl-3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylatearrow_forwardWhat is the major difference between the base-catalyzed and acid-catalyzed processes for nucleophilic addition of water to aldehydes and ketones? a. The base-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because hydroxide ion is a much better nucleophile than neutral water. b. The rate of reaction in base catalyzed process is slower than acid catalyzed process. c. The acid-catalyzed reaction takes place rapidly because the protonated carbonyl compound is a much better electrophile than the neutral compound. d. Only 1 and 3 are correct.arrow_forwardWhat is the first step in the general mechanism for electrophilic aromatic substitution? a. aromatic ring protonation b.loss of the electrophilic aromatic ring c. deprotonation of the aromatic ring d.addition of the electrophilic to the aromatic ring.arrow_forward
