Question

1. Plot a reaction that would produce propyl acetate. Identify the reactants needed and the catalysts.

2. Identify the products of the following simple reactions:
a. Oxidation of ethanol
b. Reduction of hexanoic acid
c. Hydrolysis of N-Methylacetamide.

Answer 1

I am not an organic chemist but I think you can find all of the answers on Google.
1. CH3COOH + HOCH2CH2CH3 ==> CH3COOCH2CH2CH3
acetic acid + n-propyl alcohol ==> propylacetate
2. oxidation of ethanol produces ethanal (an aldehyde)
b. reduction of hexanoic acid produces n-hexylalcohol
c. acid hydrolysis of N-methylacetamide
CH3CONHCH3 ==> CH3COOH + NH3
