Why is the overacylation of benzene not a problem when subjecting benzene to a Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction? The product is higher in energy than the reactant, making it stable and unable to react further There is not enough catalyst to allow another acylation The product is too sterically hindered to undergo another acylation reaction The product of the reaction is deactivated compared to the starting material

A problem often encountered in the oxidation of primary alcohols to acids is that esters are sometimes produced as by-products. For example, oxidation of ethanol yields acetic acid and ethyl acetate: Propose a mechanism to account for the formation of ethyl acetate. Take into account the reversible reaction between aldehydes and alcohols:
Thioester hydrolysis yielding more energy than O-ester hydrolysis is ultimately due to Bond between S and carbonyl carbon is of lower energy Thioesters are more resonance stabilized Products of O-ester hydrolysis have lower degree of solvation than its reactants in water Sulphur being a larger atom than oxygen
