    Propan-2-ol + ethanoic acid \[\xrightarrow{{}}\]?

    A)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCOOC{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}COOCH{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    D)  \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHCOOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\underset{ethanoic\text{ }acid}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOH}}\,+\underset{propan\text{ }-2-ol}{\mathop{HOCH\,{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\]                            \[\xrightarrow{{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}}\,\underset{iso-propyi\text{ }ethanoate}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOCH\,{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}}}\,\] This reaction is called esterification as ester is the final product.
