Draw the mechanism for the reaction of acetyl chloride (ethanoyl chloride) with the ethoxide anion to yield ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate)

Sagot :

Ethanoyl chloride is a common acyl chloride. Any other acyl chloride will function similarly.  Similarly, ethanol is regarded as a typical alcoholic beverage. simply substitute the CH3CH2 group with an alkyl group.

The first stage of the reaction (the addition stage) includes a nucleophilic attack on the relatively positive carbon atom by one of the lone pairs on an ethanol molecule's oxygen.

The second stage (elimination) occurs in two stages. The carbon-oxygen double bond reforms in the first step, releasing a chloride ion.

The ethanoyl chloride then removes a hydrogen ion, yielding ethyl ethanoate and hydrogen chloride.
