Predicting the Products of Organic Reactions
Write the products of the following reactions:
(a) CH_3\overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{C}HCH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{C}OH + HO\overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{C}HCH_3 \ \rightarrow \ ?
(b) CH_3CH_2\overset{\underset{|}{Br}}{CH}CH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{CN}H_2 + H_2O \ \rightarrow \ ?
The reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol yields an ester plus water, and the reaction of an amide with water yields a carboxylic acid and an amine (or ammonia). Write the reactants to show how H_2O (or NH_3) is removed, and then connect the remaining fragments to complete the substitution reaction
(a) CH_3\overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{CH}CH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{C}-OH \ + \ H-O \overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{CH}CH_3 \rightarrow CH_3\overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{CH}CH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{C}-O \overset{\underset{|}{CH_3}}{CH}CH_3 \ + \ H_2O
(b) CH_3CH_2\overset{\underset{|}{Br}}{CH}CH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{C}-NH_2 \ + \ H-OH \rightarrow CH_3CH_2\overset{\underset{|}{Br}}{CH}CH_2\overset{\underset{║}{O}}{C}OH + NH_3
