Question

Schmidt reaction enables to convert carboxylic acid into mcq​

Answer 1

Answer:

Esters can be prepared by treatment of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst, most commonly sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, in a reaction known as Fischer esterification

Answer 2

Answer:

Schmidt reaction enables to carry out the conversion of the carboxylic acid into an amide.

Explanation:

It is an organic reaction in which an azide on treatment with an aldehyde, a ketone, or a carboxylic acid under acidic conditions, results in the formation of an amide or an amine.

When an aldehyde or a carboxylic acid undergoes a Schmidt reaction, it forms an amine.

When a ketone undergoes the Schmidt reaction, it gives an amide as the desired product.

The carboxylic acid does not get converted into an amide under such a reaction because its carbonyl group is eliminated as carbon dioxide. Thus, without the carbonyl group, the amide cannot be formed.

Hence, the Schmidt reaction does not convert carboxylic acid into an amide.
