***A*** ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Esterification reaction⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹The compound $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COOCH}_2 \mathrm{CH}_3$ is an ester, which can be prepared by reacting an alcohol with an acyl chloride. In this case, $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{CH}_2 \mathrm{OH}$ (ethanol) reacts with $\mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{COCl}$ (acetyl chloride) to form the ester.⚹◊What is the mechanism for the synthesis of $CH_{3}COOCH_{2}CH_{3}$ using the reagent combinations provided?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
