How might you prepare the following esters using a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction of an acid chloride?
(a)
(b)
(c) Ethyl benzoate.
21-75 One frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reactionof carboxylic acids with diazomethane,
The reaction occurs in two steps: (1) protonation of diazomethane bythe carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion,, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with .
(a) Draw two resonance structures of diazomethane, and account forstep 1.
(b) What kind of reaction occurs in step 2?
Treatment of 5- aminopentanoic acid DCC(dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) yields a lactam. Show the structure of the product and the mechanism of the reaction.
21-34 Predict the product(s) and provide the mechanism for each reaction below.
