Question
Identify ‘A’ and ‘B’ in the following reaction sequence.
\[\ce{CH3COOH + C2H5OH ->[H+][-H2O] A ->[H2/Ni][\Delta] B}\]
Solution
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Ethanol}}{C2H5 - OH} + \underset{\text{Acetic acid}}{CH3COOH} ->[H+][-H2O] \underset{\text{Ethyl acetate (A)}}{CH3COOC2H5}}\]
\[\ce{CH3COOCH2CH3 + 2H2 ->[H2/Ni][\Delta] \underset{\text{Ethanol (B)}}{2CH3CH2OH}}\]
∴ ‘A’ is ethyl acetate and ‘B’ is ethanol.
