A) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCOOC{{H}_{3}}\]
B) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOCH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}\]
C) \[C{{H}_{3}}COOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]
D) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCOOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
\[\underset{ethanoic\,acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,+\underset{propan-2-ol}{\mathop{HOCH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\] \[\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\underset{\text{iso}-\text{propyl}\,\text{ethanoate}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOCH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\] This reaction is called esterification as ester is the final product.
