Look at question B9)D)ii

What is the displayed structural formula ??

you will find bothe the question paper and markscheme attached

@d!_†oX!©:
this is what the product will look like
here the C2H5OH will replace Hydrogen from the third carbon...
The H removed will react with the OH from ethanol to form water and this new compound will be formed

holtadit:
Could u give me the displayed structural formula too - for my reference

nid404:
basically for any esterification....remember water is lost. Oh from ethanol is used....and one H from the acid is used to form water......

Put the rest of the structure as it is.....acid followed by alcohol......but while naming remember u name the alkyl(formed from alcohol) first and then the acid+oate

I'm dead tired...so im bound to say crap in this state....if u spot summin wrong lemme know.....
