Discuss on the relative reactivity of different alcohols with a given carboxylic acid towards esterification 

The reaction of an alcohol with carboxylic acid is called

Discuss the acidic nature of phenols compared to alcohols.

Which of the following carboxylic acid is more reactive towards Esterification with alcohols?

A sweet odour substance formed by the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid is ___.

Name the reagents used in the Oxidation of primary alcohol to carboxylic acid reaction.

Aldehydes and ketons are susceptible to nuclephlic addition because carbonylgroup Polar (due to electronegativeity difference between carbon and oxygen positive charge on carbonyl compound towards nucleophilic . this addition is catalysed by acid . REactivity of carbonyl compound towards nuclephilic addotion increase with increase in teh electron deficiency at carbonyl carbon Thus (-I.E ) groups increase while (+I.E ) groups decreases the reactivity of carbonyl compound . select the least reactive carbonyl compound towards nuclephilic addition .

Which of the following alcohols on oxidation give carboxylic acid with lasser number of carbon atoms?

1 Name the reagents used in the following reactions: (i) Oxidation of a primary alcohol to carboxylic acid. (ii) Oxidation of a primary alcohol to aldehyde. (iii) Bromination of phenol to 2,4,6-tribromophenol. (iv) Benzyl alcohol to benzoic acid. (v) Dehydration of propan-2-ol to propene. (vi) Butan-2-one to butan-2-ol.
