Answer» Solution :`HCHO overset("1) "RM_(g)X)underset("2) "H_(2)O)rarr underset(X)(R-CH_(2)OH)overset(+R.-COOH)underset(H^(+))rarr R^(1)-underset(Y)(COOCH_(2)R)` Aldehydes on treatment with `R-Mg-x 1^(@)` alcohol is obtained. `1^(@)` alcohol on treatment with an acid will from ester in presence of `H^(+)` REACTION is KNOWN as esterification reaction. |
