Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The stepwise mechanism for the given reaction is to be proposed. The reason as to why this rearrangement occurs is to be stated.
Concept introduction: Carbonyl compounds in presence of base, loses its alpha hydrogen to form enolate. Enolates have negatively charged oxygen with adjacent carbon-carbon double bond. Enolates are resonance stabilized species.

Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory agent because it inhibits the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins by the transfer of its acetyl group (CH3CO−) to an OH group at the active site of an enzyme. This reaction, called transesterification, results in the conversion of one ester to another by a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction. Draw a stepwise mechanism for the given transesterification.
Rank the following esters in order of decreasing reactivity in the first slow step of a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction (formation of the tetrahedral intermediate):Rank the same esters in order of decreasing reactivity in the second slow step of a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction (collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate).
