Acid-catalyzed dehydration-condensation reactions of carboxylic acids and alcohols produce chemicals called esters.
i. Using carbon skeletal notation, write the dehydration-condensation reaction that occurs between ethanol and butanoic acid.
ii. What is the name of this ester?
a) i. CH₃CH₂OH + CH₃CH₂COOH → CH₃CH₂COOCH₂CH₃ ii. Ethyl Butanoate
b) i. CH₃CH₂OH + CH₃CH₂COOH → CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂COOCH₃ ii. Butyl Ethanoate
c) i. CH₃OH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COOCH₃ ii. Methyl Butanoate
d) i. CH₃OH + CH₃COOH → CH₃COOCH₂CH₃ ii. Methyl Butylate
