Esterification is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with a loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterification reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterification reaction; that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as the product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why is different for these two apparently similar reactions.

The Diels–Alder reaction, a powerful reaction discussed in Chapter 16, occurs when a 1,3- diene such as A reacts with an alkene such as B to form the six-membered ring in C.

a. Draw curved arrows to show how A and B react to form C.
b. What bonds are broken and formed in this reaction?
c. Would you expect this reaction to be endothermic or exothermic?
d. Does entropy favor the reactants or products?
e. Is the Diels–Alder reaction a substitution, elimination, or addition?
Consider the following reaction:
a. Use curved arrows to show the movement of electrons.
b. Calculate using the bond dissociation energies in Table 6.2.
c. Draw an energy diagram assuming that
d. What is for the reverse reaction ?
a. Which corresponds to a negative value of localid="1648198317845" , localid="1648198334107" or Keq= 0.001 ?
b. Which corresponds to a lower value oflocalid="1648198364090" , localid="1648198396853" or localid="1648198411007" ?
