Answer» CORRECT option is (a) Ethyl mercaptan to 1,3-Diesters Easiest explanation: Ethyl mercaptan to 1,3-Diesters involves the formation of symmetrical molecules having the tendency to form crystals. Trichloroethanol to p-Acetamidobenzene ester is not the correct form, here Trichloroethanol should be CONVERTED to p-Acetamidobenzoic acid ester. Ethyl mercaptan to PHTHALATE esters is DONE for the improvement of odour and CHLORAMPHENICOL to palmitate ester is done for the improvement of odour. |
