Question

what is the product formed when glycine reacts with ethanol in acidic medium and heat ?

Answer 1

Answer:-

Mixture of ethers like diethyl ether or dimethyl ether or methyl ethyl ether depending upon composition of reactants. More volatile products are produced while heat is necessary and also the acid is sulfuric or some resin immersed strong acid. Water is also formed diluting the acid as in sulfuric. Thus is also acid dependent in batch reaction. The products are highly volatile and explosive in air. Audibility ether is a petrol. Butyl butyrate is a wonderful substitute in internal combustion engine. Butyric acid and butanol can be made from waste. Don't waste your time with ethanol and methanol.
