All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for free21-36 When 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) is added in catalytic amountsto acetic anhydride and an alcohol, it significantly increases the rate of ester formation. The process begins with a reaction between acetic anhydride and DMAP to form a highly reactive acetylpyridinium intermediate that is more reactive than acetic anhydride itself. Propose a mechanism for this process that includes the formation and reaction of the acetylpyridinium intermediate.
21-68 When a carboxylic acid is dissolved in isotopically labeled water, thelabel rapidly becomes incorporated into both oxygen atoms of the carboxylic acid. Explain.
21-69 We said in Section 21-6 that mechanistic studies on ester hydrolysishave been carried out using ethyl propanoate labeled with in theether-like oxygen. Assumethat labeled acetic acid is your onlysource of isotopic oxygen, and then propose a synthesis of the labeledethyl propanoate.
When ethyl benzoate is heated in methanol containing a small amount of HCL, Methyl benzoate is formed. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.
