Which of the following is the best method for the synthesis of ester `(I) (Me_(3)C-COOMe)`?

A

`Me_(3)C -COCl +MeOH to`

B

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

C

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

D

`Me_(3)C-COCl +MeONa to`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The esterification of an alcohol with RCOCl or with RCOOH is affected by steric hindrance. Bulky group on either alcohol or acid derivatives slow down the reaction. So, the esterification with diazomethane `(CH_(2)N_(2))` is the best method.
