Question
Chapter 20, Problem 20.1YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The necessary curved arrows are to be added and tetrahedral intermediate are to be identified. The name of the elementary step that takes place is to be written.
Concept introduction:
When an ester is treated with sodium methoxide, a different ester is produced. This is an example of a transesterification reaction, so called because one ester is converted into another. The mechanism for this transesterification is typical of reactions involving a nucleophile and a carboxylic acid derivative. It is called a nucleophilic addition-elimination mechanism, which describes the two steps that take place.
