  • question_answer
      Which ester given below can most easily be produced by acid catalysed esterification (Fischer's esterification)?

    A) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COO{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    B) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOCH(C{{H}_{3}})C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COOC{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}COO{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Ester which contains primary alcohol fraction can most easily be synthesised by Fischer's synthesis, secondary and tertiary alcohols have chances of acid catalyzed dehydration.
