Write the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed reaction of an amide with an alcohol to form an ester.
Information about the mechanism of the reaction undergone by a series of substituted benzenes can be obtained by plotting logarithm of the observed rate constant determined at particular pH against the Hammett substituent constant for the particular substituent. The value for hydrogen is zero. Electron-donating substituents have negative values; the more strongly electron withdrawing the substituent, the more positiveits s value. The slope of a plot of the logarithm of the rate constant versusis called the (rho) value. The value for the hydroxide-ion-promoted hydrolysis of a series of meta- and para-substituted ethyl
benzoates is ; the value for amide formation for the reaction of a series of meta- and para-substituted anilines with benzoyl chloride is .

a.Identify the two products obtained from the following reaction:

b. A student carried out the preceding reaction, but stopped it before it was half over, whereupon he isolated the major product. He was surprised to find
that the product he isolated was neither of the products obtained when the reaction was allowed to go to completion. What product did he isolate?
The aromas of many flowers and fruits are due to esters such as those shown in this problem. What are the common names of these esters? (Also see Problem 57.)
