Chemiluminescence Ester Formation - Divanillyl Oxalate

<< < (2/3) > >>

Babcock_Hall:
Acid chlorides are quite reactive.

oesan1:
So what would the chlorine atoms do if they are reactive?

rolnor:
If you react an alcohol with an acid chloride, what do you get? You can google "ester formation"

oesan1:
Ohhh, so if I attack the alcohol first, I'd get the chloride sooner!

oesan1:
NOT THE CHLORIDE (the ester)
