Chapter 11, Problem 41P

Using an alcohol for one method and an alkyl halide for the other, show two ways to make each of the following esters:

  1. a. propyl acetate (odor of pears)
  2. b. isopentyl acetate (odor of bananas)
  3. c. ethyl butyrate (odor of pineapple)
  4. d. methyl phenylethanoate (odor of honey)
Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which could explain the stronger acidity of phenols compared to alcohols. Why? a.pi-electron delocalization b.steric effect c.hydrogen bonding d.hyperconjugation
5. Draw the structure of following compounds: a. methyl butanoate b. propyl ethanoate c. ethyl propanoate d. ethyl 3-methylhexanoate e. butyl hexanoate f. methyl 2-hexyl-3-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate
When trichloroacetaldehyde is dissolved in water, almost all of it is converted to the hydrate. Chloral hydrate, the product of the reaction, is a sedative that can be lethal. A cocktail laced with it is known—in detective novels,at least—as a “Mickey Finn.” Explain why an aqueous solution of trichloroacetaldehyde is almost all hydrate.
