Interpretation:
The structure of Kodel polyester that is formed by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with
Concept introduction:
Transesterification process results in the formation of different ester and alcohol by the reaction between the alcohol and ester present as reactant. In this process strong acids catalyse the reaction by donation a proton to the carbonyl group, results in the formation of more potent electrophile and the bases catalyse the reaction removes the proton from the alcohol, results in the formation of more nucleophilic.
Polyesters are the

- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardGive two tests used in the identification of ethyl acetate?

- Indicate the CORRECT alternative: a) Acid halides react only in the presence of a catalyst. b) The reaction of an acid chloride with an alcohol produces less of an ester than using the Fischer reaction. c) The nucleophilic substitution reaction in acid derivatives occurs through an SN1 mechanism. d) Reduction of an ester with LiAlH4 yields only secondary alcohols. e) Hydrolysis of an amide in an acid medium produces a carboxylic acid and a protonated amine.arrow_forwardWhich alcohols can be prepared as a single product by hydroboration–oxidation of an alkene?
