Chapter 24: Problem 49

Draw the condensed structure of the compounds formed by condensation reactions between (a) benzoic acid and ethanol, (b) ethanoic acid and methylamine, (c) acetic acid and phenol. Name the compound in each case.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The condensed structures and names of the compounds formed by condensation reactions between the given molecules are: (a) C₆H₅COOC₂H₅, named as ethyl benzoate. (b) CH₃CONHCH₃, named as N-methyl ethanamide. (c) CH₃COOC₆H₅, named as phenyl acetate.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the functional groups

Benzoic acid is a carboxylic acid, and ethanol is an alcohol.
02

Perform the condensation reaction

In a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, the hydrogen from the -OH group of the alcohol and the -OH group from the carboxylic acid combine and eliminate water, forming an ester linkage (--COO--).
03

Draw the condensed structure

After the reaction, the resulting compound has the following condensed structure: C₆H₅COOC₂H₅
04

Name the compound

Using the IUPAC naming system, the resulting compound is called ethyl benzoate. #b) Ethanoic acid and methylamine#
05

Identify the functional groups

Ethanoic acid is a carboxylic acid, and methylamine is an amine.
06

Perform the condensation reaction

In a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine, the hydrogen from the -NH₂ group of the amine and the -OH group from the carboxylic acid combine and eliminate water, forming an amide linkage (--CONH--).
07

Draw the condensed structure

After the reaction, the resulting compound has the following condensed structure: CH₃CONHCH₃
08

Name the compound

Using the IUPAC naming system, the resulting compound is called N-methyl ethanamide. #c) Acetic acid and phenol#
09

Identify the functional groups

Acetic acid is a carboxylic acid and phenol is an alcohol.
10

Perform the condensation reaction

In a condensation reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, the hydrogen from the -OH group of the alcohol and the -OH group from the carboxylic acid combine and eliminate water, forming an ester linkage (--COO--).
11

Draw the condensed structure

After the reaction, the resulting compound has the following condensed structure: CH₃COOC₆H₅
12

Name the compound

Using the IUPAC naming system, the resulting compound is called phenyl acetate.
