The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of two molecules of acetaldehyde with triethoxyaluminium to form ethyl acetate, we can break it down step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: The reactants in this reaction are two molecules of acetaldehyde (CH₃CHO) and triethoxyaluminium (Al(OC₂H₅)₃). **Hint**: Look for the functional groups in the reactants to understand their reactivity. 2. **Understand the Reaction Type**: The reaction involves the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond and the conversion of aldehydes into esters. This suggests that it may be a condensation reaction. **Hint**: Consider the types of reactions that involve aldehydes and esters. 3. **Mechanism Overview**: - The aluminum in triethoxyaluminium has a vacant d-orbital and is electrophilic, which allows it to interact with the oxygen of the acetaldehyde. - The oxygen from acetaldehyde attacks the aluminum, forming a complex. - The second molecule of acetaldehyde then attacks this complex, leading to the formation of a new carbon-carbon bond. **Hint**: Focus on how the electrophilic and nucleophilic sites interact in the mechanism. 4. **Formation of Ethyl Acetate**: - Through a series of steps involving bond rearrangements and the transfer of hydrogen, the final product formed is ethyl acetate (CH₃COOCH₂CH₃). - The reaction essentially converts the aldehyde into an ester. **Hint**: Keep track of the atoms and bonds during the reaction to see how the product is formed. 5. **Naming the Reaction**: - This specific reaction is known as the **T-Schenkow reaction**, which is characterized by the conversion of aldehydes into esters using aluminum alkoxides. **Hint**: Recall the names of reactions involving aldehydes and esters to identify the correct one. ### Final Answer: The reaction is called the **T-Schenkow reaction**.
