Write an equation representing the synthesis of propanoic anhydride.
Propanoic anhydride can be synthesized in a reaction between propanoyl chloride and the propanoate anion. This gives us the following equation:
\begin{matrix} \begin{array}{r c}\underset{||}{O} \qquad \; \\ CH_3CH_2C-Cl \\ \\ \end{array} & \xrightarrow[Propanoate \; ion]{\begin{array}{r c}\underset{||}{O} \qquad \; \> \\ CH_3CH_2C-O^- \end{array}} & \begin{array}{r c}\underset{||}{O} \qquad \quad \; \underset{||}{O} \qquad \qquad \\ CH_3CH_2C-O-CCH_2CH_3 \\ \\ \end{array} & + & Cl^- \\ \begin{matrix} Propanoyl \\ chloride \end{matrix} & & \begin{matrix} Propanoic \; anhydride \\ \end{matrix} & & \begin{matrix} Chloride \\ ion \end{matrix} \end{matrix}Related Answered Questions
