Chapter 20, Problem 20.13P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of ester formed when isobutyric acid reacts with diazomethane in ether to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Esters are the derivatives of a carboxylic acid with the general formula of $\text{R-COO}{\text{R}}^{\prime }$ where, R and ${\text{R}}^{\prime }$ are the alkyl group. They have a fruity smell and are generally formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of ester formed when succinic acid reacts with a large excess of diazomethane in ether is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Esters are the derivatives of a carboxylic acid with the general formula of $\text{R-COO}{\text{R}}^{\prime }$ where R and ${\text{R}}^{\prime }$ are the alkyl group. They have a fruity smell and are generally formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The structure of ester formed when isobutyric acid reacts with benzyl bromide and ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$, in acetone is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Esters are the derivatives of a carboxylic acid with the general formula of $\text{R-COO}{\text{R}}^{\prime }$ where R and ${\text{R}}^{\prime }$ are the alkyl group. They have a fruity smell and are generally formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The structure of ester formed when benzoic acid reacts with allyl bromide and ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{CO}}_{\text{3}}$ in acetone is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Esters are the derivatives of a carboxylic acid with the general formula of $\text{R-COO}{\text{R}}^{\prime }$ where R and ${\text{R}}^{\prime }$ are the alkyl group. They have a fruity smell and are generally formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol.
