State the molecular formula of E.
Name E.
E is produced when a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react together. Name the reaction type taking place in this esterification reaction.
Write an equation for the production of E from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. Represent the organic species using structural formulae.
State the systematic name of the alcohol used to make E.
F is an isomer of E. F reacts with $\text{HCl}(\text{aq})$ to make G and H. G is a secondary alcohol. H is also obtained when $\text{HCl}(\text{aq})$ is added to $\text{CH}_3\text{CN}$. Construct an equation for the acid hydrolysis of $\text{CH}_3\text{CN}$ with $\text{HCl}(\text{aq})$.
Draw the displayed formula of G.
$\text{CH}_3\text{OH}$ is used to make $\text{CH}_3\text{CN}$ in a two-step process, as shown in Fig. 4.2. $\text{CH}_3\text{OH} \xrightarrow{\text{step 1}} \text{CH}_3\text{Cl} \xrightarrow{\text{step 2}} \text{CH}_3\text{CN}$. State the reagents and conditions required for steps 1 and 2.
