Concept introduction:
Esters encompass a large family of organic compound with broad application in various fields of science and technology. Esters are formed when an alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid.
Chemically esters can be prepared by the reaction of an alcohol with an organic acid.
Esters can be simply represented as,
Ester formation can be represented as follows,
The reaction of –OH and –COOH on same molecule produces a cyclic ester.

- Label each of the following structures as a cyclic hemiacetal, hemiketal, acetal, ketal, or none of these: a. b. c.arrow_forwardWhich common intermediate is formed during acetal formation and acetal hydrolysis?arrow_forwardEthyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring. It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) Given 8.45 gg of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100%% yield? Express your answer in grams to three significant figures. A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.50 gg of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield? Express your answer as a percent to three significant figures. The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0%% yield. How many grams would be produced from 8.45 gg of butanoic acid and excess…arrow_forward
