Answer:
(i)CH3Li(excess)
CH3COOH + CH3Li(excess) → CH3COCH3
CH3Li is a source of CH3- and it attacks the positive part of CH3COOH to form CH3COCH3.
In this reaction, Methyllithium is a source of methane and it attacks the positive part of Acetic acid to form Acetone.
Acetone is a chemical used to make products like nail polish remover and paint remover. Your body also makes this chemical when it breaks down fat. Acetone is safe in normal amounts, but too much of it could be a problem.
Acetic acid (CH3COOH), also called ethanoic acid, is the most important of the carboxylic acids. A dilute (approximately 5 percent by volume) solution of acetic acid produced by fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates is called vinegar; a salt, ester, or acylal of acetic acid is called acetate.
Methyllithium is an organolithium reagent mainly used for deprotonation and as a source of methyl anion. It is a strong base and a strong nucleophile.
