Chapter 15, Problem 15.34E
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

In the given ester, the portion that came from the acid is to be circled. The ester linkage is to be pointed out.

Concept introduction:

Esters are organic compounds which are formed from acids in which one hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkoxy group. Esters are formed by the reaction between a carboxylic group and an alcohol under the presence of a catalyst which supplies a proton.

Ester compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents. The structural formulas for these ester compounds are shown here: Alcohols for Air Freshener Project Molar mass Density Cost, per (g/mL) Reagent (g/mol) 1.00 L methanol 32.04 0.79 $46.20 ethanol 46.07 0.79 $112.00 1-propanol 60.10 0.80 $72.70 1-butanol 74.12 0.81 $72.60 Use the structural formulas of the alcohols and…
