Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carboxylic acid and alcohol required to form methylparaben by Fischer esterification needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

When carboxylic acid (RCOOH) is treated with an alcohol (R'OH) in an acidic medium, an ester (RCOOR') formation can be observed. This process is known as the Fischer esterification.

In this esterification process, the OR' group of an alcohol replaces the OH group of the starting carboxylic acid.

General reaction is represented as follows:
