how to convert ethenal to ethyl acetate with reaction..please with full explaining
Answers
Answer:
Ethyl acetate also know as Ethyl Ethanoate is an Ester gotten from the reaction between Ethanoic (acetic acid ) and Ethanol through a process called ESTERIFICATION.. The individual steps are first, oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid and this can be done with a variety of reagents such as dichromate ([O]).
Reaction Process.....
In step (a) of the process of the invention the C 2 feedstock is converted to ethyl acetate by (i) dehydrogenation, (ii) oxidation, (iii) reaction with acetaldehyde, or (iv) oxidation to acetaldehyde followed by the Tischenko reaction
Explanation:
Preparation. Ethyl acetate is traditionally synthesised from by heating ethanol with ethanoic acid in the presence of a catalytic amount of a strong acid such as sulphuric acid (the "Fischer" method).
the first step would be to do a trans-esterification with sodium butoxide. You would want to use an excess of sodium butoxide (CH3CH2CH2CH2-ONa) to drive the reaction, shown below to the right.
CH3CO2-CH2CH3 + CH3CH2CH2CH2-ONa → CH3CO2-CH2CH2CH2CH3 + CH3CH2-ONa
