QUESTION:

Problem 19P

Propose mechanisms to show the interchange of protons between ethanol molecules under

(a) acid catalysis (b) base catalysis

ANSWER:

Solution:

Here we have to propose mechanisms to show the interchange of protons between ethanol molecules under (a) acid catalysis (b) base catalysis

Step 1

(a)Acid catalysis with ethanol:-

Ethanol has been protonated when it undergoes acid catalyzed reaction and forms CH3-CH2-H2O+ , which on addition with the anion  further undergoes deprotonation  and forms ethanol.
