8
Q
Why would synthesis of ethyl ethanoate NOT be performed in aqueous solution?
A
Water would hydrolyze the product into ethanoic acid and ethanol
- ethanol can be hydrolyzed by water to form COOH and OH
- water is nuc and attacks elec carbonyl carbon > break bond between carbon and non carbonyl oxygen
