Question

The thioester described in Problem 29 reacts readily with compounds with the formula ROH or RNH₂ . Draw the resulting ester and amide reaction products.

Short answer

The resulting ester and amide reaction products are,

Step-by-step solution

Concept introduction

A chemical compound is a substance made up of numerous identical molecules bound together by chemical bonds and atoms from different elements.

Drawing the resulting ester and amide reaction and products

When thioester reacts with a compound such as ROH or RNH2, sulphate draws electrons from the carbonyl atom as thioester interacts as an electrophile.

A thioester reacts with alcohol and produces an ester and a thiol. On the other hand, when a thioester reacts with an amine, it produces amide and thiol.

Hence, the resulting ester and amide reaction products are given.
