Chapter 16.8, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The pairs of alcohols and acyl chlorides or acid anhydrides that can be used for the synthesis for the given esters are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The ester is the organic compound derived from the carboxylic acid where a hydroxyl group atom in the carboxylic group is replaced by an alkoxy group.

The esters can be obtained by the reaction of alcohol with acyl chloride or acid anhydride.

In ester, the oxygen that is attached to the carbonyl carbon by a single bond comes from alcohol and the carbonyl group comes from acyl chloride or acid anhydride.

What reactions and reagents can be used to make phenol from benzene if electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are excluded and benzene is the only source of carbon?
Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange and pineapple. Its fragrance and taste are often associated with fresh orange juice, and thus it is most commonly used as orange flavoring. It can be produced by the reaction of butanoic acid with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (H+H+): CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)H+⟶CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l)CH3CH2CH2CO2H(l)+CH2CH3OH(l)⟶H+CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3(l)+H2O(l) A chemist ran the reaction and obtained 5.40 g of ethyl butyrate. What was the percent yield, The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be produced from 7.45g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol?
