The equation for the following reaction is incomplete, only the
reactants are shown, The missing product(s) being indicated by a
question mark. Identify any functional group(s) in compounds 1 & 2 by
circling them and naming them clearly.
Complete the equation by drawing the abbreviated structural formula(e)
of the product(s) of this reaction in place of the queation mark.
Identify any new functional groups in the organic product(s) by circling
tham and naming them clearly.
State the type of reaction that has occurred, and explain how you
arrived at your answer.
O
CH3 C = CH CH2 – OH + CH3 CH2 C
CH3 OH
compound 1 compound 2
?
I have determined that –OH is an alchohol functional group and COOH is
a carboxylic acid group. The only way that these two groups react
together via a condensation reaction to give an ester.
Is this part right.
