synthesizing the ester "3-pentyl cyclopentylmethanoate" and "t-butyl benzoate"
« on: March 22, 2007, 04:34:57 AM »
Can someone please show me how to use structural formulae to illustrate how these 2 esters ("3-pentyl cyclopentylmethanoate" and "t-butyl benzoate") can be synthesized?

thank you

The Forum Rules say that you should show that you have attempted to answer the question first.

But, here is a hint: one way of synthesizing esters is to react an alcohol with a carboxylic acid.  What combinations of alcohols and carboxylic acids could be used to create these esters?
