Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The intramolecular esterification reaction of following hydroxycarboxylic acid should be determined:
Concept Introduction:
Alcohols are the organic compounds with general chemical formula of R-OH whereas carboxylic acids are the organic molecules with R-COOH as general chemical formula.
(b)
Interpretation:
The intramolecular esterification reaction of following hydroxycarboxylic acid should be determined:
Concept Introduction:
Functional groups are the groups of atoms or atoms which are bonded with parent carbon chain in the organic molecule and are responsible for the physical and chemical properties of the compound. In organic chemistry, there are different functional groups such as carboxylic acid, alcohol, ester, or amide.
Alcohols are the organic compounds with general chemical formula of R-OH whereas carboxylic acids are the organic molecules with R-COOH as general chemical formula.
