Write balanced equations to show the formation of each of the following compounds. Name the reactants in each case, and show clearly the removal of the water molecule.
a) butyl propanoate
b) propyl methanoate
Im not exactly sure how to answer this question... below are pics of the structural formulas.
a) butyl propanoate - CH3CH2COOCH2CH2CH2CH3
b) propyl methanoate - HCOOCH2CH2CH3
I know the reaction will be a deydration (Elimination) seeing as the water molecule is removed. I am lost on where to go from here though; and even if what I have done so far is right.
