Chapter 17.3, Problem 17.17P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure and name of the ester formed when 1-octanol reacts with acetic acid has to be given.

Concept introduction:

Carboxylic acid: One OH group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOH

Ester: One OR' group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the compound. It is represented as RCOOR'. The hydrogen atom of COOH is replaced by an alkyl group.

Esterification reaction: Esters are prepared by the reaction of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol molecule with the elimination of water molecule. The addition of a strong acid such as H2SO4 is used to increase the rate of reaction.

Here, the OH group is attached to the carbonyl carbon atom of the carboxylic acid is being replaced by the OR' in the alcohol forming ester and water.
