(a)
Interpretation:
In the given ester, the portion that came from the acid is to be circled. The ester linkage is to be pointed out.
Concept introduction:
Esters are organic compounds which are formed from acids in which one hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkoxy group. Esters are formed by the reaction between a carboxylic group and an alcohol under the presence of a catalyst which supplies a proton.

- Why is aspirin a carboxylic acid?arrow_forwardWhy are alcoholic solutions used in the hydroxamic acid test for esters?arrow_forwardWhen reacting an acid halide with amines, it is necessary to use at least two moles of the amine because: A) Acid halides are so unreactive that two moles of the attacking nucleophile are needed B) Using one mole of the amine leads to a neutralization reaction between the two reactants C) Excess amine is needed to react with the hydrohalic acid produced D) The second mole of amine is needed for deprotonation.arrow_forward
