Step 1: Acetic acid is protonated by H2SO4.
Step 2: The hydroxyl group of the alcohol attacks acetic acid.
Step 3: Tautomerism (will be explained in class next semester).
Step 4: Water is a good leaving group
Step 5: 5% sodium bicarbonate deprotonates the ester to yield the final product.
The esterification reaction is a five-step reaction. Draw the curly arrow mechanism for the first two...
“Fun in acid” question: Draw a reaction mechanism using the curved-arrow formalism (include lone pair electrons) for the conversion of an ester into an alcohol and a methyl ester in the presence of acid in excess methanol. Hint: 6-steps.
“Fun in acid” question: Draw a reaction mechanism using the curved-arrow formalism (include lone pair electrons) for the following transesterification of an ester into an alcohol and a methyl ester in the presence of acid in excess methanol. Hint: 6-steps. H+
The reaction is Esterification Acetic Acid + isoamyl alcohol yielding isoamyl acetate During the extraction indicate which substance(s) is (are)) removed at each step with the following reagents: a. washing with water b. washing with saturated sodium bicarbonate. Since the reaction you will perform is reversible, give two ways you could push the equilibrium in the forward direction in the laboratory.

Complete the electron-pushing mechanism for the E1 reaction when 2-methylbutan-2-ol is treated with 20% sulfuric acid. Hint: The E1 mechanism involves dissociation of the hydroxyl group from the substrate. The acid is used to convert the hydroxyl group to a good leaving group. Do not delete any pre-drawn bonds/charges/lone pairs. Complete the electron-pushing mechanism for the E1 reaction when 2-methylbutan-2-ol is treated with 20% sulfuric acid Map a) Use two curved arrows to show the fast b) Use a curved...
Label: -nucleophile -electrophile -leaving group Draw a reasonable, step by step arrow pushing mechanism for the overall reaction. You may abbreviate non-involved parts of any of the molecules with 'R' groups, and you can assume that water is present in the reaction (to act as either an acid or a base).
