Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The target molecule should be drawn and identified for the given corresponding molecules by using its structures.

Concept introduction:

Esterification reaction: This type of conversion reaction involved aliphatic, aromatic carboxylic acid to different esters using mineral acids ( $\text{like dil}\text{.HCl, dil}\text{.H2SO4}$.,) and alcohols Fisher Esterification. The equal amount of carboxylic acid is treated with alcohols in presence of acid catalyst conditions to give target ester along with water. This type of conversion called as Fisher Esterification.

Acid Catalyzed Hydration Reaction: The reaction involves breaking of π-bonds between carbon-carbon multiple bonds and addition of alcohol to more substituted position of carbon in the molecule.

Addition Reaction: It is defined as chemical reaction in which two given molecules combines and forms product. The types of addition reactions are electrophilic addition, nucleophilic addition, free radical additions and cycloadditions. Generally, compounds with carbon-hetero atom bonds favors addition reaction.

Elimination Reaction: It is just reverse reaction of addition where substituent from the given molecule is removed via E1 (the reaction depends only on the substrate involved in the reaction) or E2 (the reaction depends on both of the substituents in the reaction) mechanism.
