Which of the following is the best method for the synthesis of ester `(I) (Me_3 C-COOMe)` ?

A

`Me_(3)C - COCI + MeOH rarr`

B

`Me_(3)C - COOH + MeOH rarr`

C

`Me_(3)C - COOH + CH_(2)N_(2) rarr`

D

`Me_(3)C - COCI + MeONa rarr`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The esterification of an alcohol with `RCOCI` or with `RCOOH` is effected by steric hindrence .bulky group on either alcohol or acid datives slow down the reaction So, the esterification with diazomethane `(CH_(2)N_(2))` is the best method.
