Question

In the esterification reaction of alcohol

• A. $O H ^ { - }$ is replaced by $\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COO }$ group
• B. $O H ^ { - }$ is replaced by chlorine
• C. $H ^ { - }$is replaced by sodium metal
• D. $O H ^ { - }$ is replaced by $\mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 } \mathrm { OH }$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$O H ^ { - }$ is replaced by $\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COO }$ group

Answer 2

$\mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COOH } + \mathrm { C } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 } \mathrm { OH } \rightarrow \underset { \substack { \text { Ehyyl acetate } } } { \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { COOC } _ { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 5 } + \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \mathrm { O } }$
