Unit 4: Esters. How can you make simple esters? Heating a mixture of ethanoic acid and ethanol with a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid produces ethyl ethanoate Ethanoic acid + ethanol -> ethyl ethanoate + water CH3COOH + CH3CH2OH -> CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O Starting materials: ethanol and ethanoic acid Catalyst: concentrated sulfuric acid Conditions: heat The concentrated sulfuric acid isn't written into the equation because it is a catalyst and therefore isn't consumed in th...

Unit 4: Esters. How do we draw and name ester? In order to work out the structure of the ester formed when an alcohol and a carboxylic acid react together we start by drawing them separately so that their OH groups are next to each other Then we remove the H and the OH to form water and join what's left For example: H H | | H - C - C - O - H ETHANOL | | H H and H O | || H - C - C ETHANOIC ACID | H O - H Then the H breaks off the ethanol which becomes ethyl and the OH bre...
