Ethyl p-nitrobenzoate has been found to undergo saponification faster than ethyl p-methoxybenzoate.
(a) Consider the mechanism of saponification, and explain the reasons for this rate enhancement.
(b) Would you expect ethyl p-methoxybenzoate to undergo saponification faster or slower than ethyl benzoate?
Question: Arrange each group of compounds in order of increasing acidity.

The following NMR spectra correspond to the compound of formula (A) C9H10O2, (B) C4H6O2, C6H10O2 . Propose structure, and show how it is consistent with the observed absorptions.
Q.13Most of the Fischer esterification mechanism is identical with the mechanism of acetal formation. The difference is in the final step, where a resonance-stabilized carbocation loses a proton to give the ester. Write mechanisms for the following reactions, with the comparable steps directly above and below each other. Explain why the final step of the esterification (proton loss) cannot occur in acetal formation, and show what happens instead.


In the presence of 18-crown-6, potassium permanganate dissolves inbenzene to give 鈥減urple benzene鈥 a useful reagent for oxidizing alkenes in an aprotic environment. Use a drawing of the complex to show why dissolves in benzeneand why the reactivity of the permanganate ion is enhanced.
