Record the general mechanism involving the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (Fischer esterification). Draw the structures of the possible products and look up their molecular weights and their boiling points.
I have taken example of acetic acid and methanol.
You can take any example and just follow the mechanism I have provided in the solution.

1. Is in refrence to a fischer esterification reaction using an alcohol and carboxylic acid to synthesis octyl acetate. https://i.sli.mg/W4ALMZ.png Thank you in advance!
In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. During the reaction the sp2 hybridized carbonyl carbon of the acid forms an sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp2 hybridization in the product. Draw the structure of the neutral sp3 hybridized intermediate and the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and n-propanol.

This is a Fischer Esterification using the alcohol, methanol, and the carboxylic acid, butyric acid, to create the ester, methyl butanoate (smells like apple). After refluxing methanol, butyric acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, a separatory flask was used and the ester was extracted using ice water, then diethyl ether, then 2 portions of sodium carbonate, and a saturated sodium chloride brine solution. Anyhydrous sodium sulfate was used after separation to dry the ester. Please help!! 4. Read about infrared spectroscopy...
A Fischer Esterification reaction forms an ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. This reaction is catalyzed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Which of the following statements below correctly describe an acid catalyzed reaction. Mark all the statements that are correct. Once the acid is consumed the reaction will stop until additional acid is added. An excess of acid is needed to get this reaction to run to completion. Acid is regenerated during the reaction. Only a small amount of...
Draw the structures of both the alcohol and the carboxylic acid that can undergo a condensation reaction to form the following ester Then, name each. You will have to upload a file for the structures
please help! thank you 47) Draw out the reaction mechanism for a Fischer esterification reaction with ethanol and benzoic acid in hot acidic conditions. Name the products. 48) Draw out the reaction mechanism for a Fischer esterification reaction when 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid is heated. Name the products if you feel ambitious.
Draw a Fischer esterification reaction of: Propyl propionate (alcohol) and propionic acid (acetic acid) ( include lone pairs, arrows electron flow)
Ph3P CH3 Ph H3C H3C Eto2C The Fischer esterification reaction synthesizes an ester via a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction The stereochemistry the alcohol oxygen that makes the nucleophilic attack. The Mitsunobu reaction, on the other hand, allows the synthesis of an ester in which the stereochemistry of the alcohol is inverted. The reaction involves a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, as well as triphenylphosphine and an azo compound termed diethyl azodicarboxylate DEAD). As with the Fischer esterification, H20 is formally...
An acid anhydride reacts with an alcohol to form one ester and one carboxylic acid. An unsymmetrical acid anhydride can react with alcohol at either carbonyl carbon, so there are two possible esters and two possible carboxylic acids. Draw the structures of all possible organic products formed in the following reaction. Do not draw counterions or byproducts. CH3 OH CH3 НАС CH3 CH3 HO So
