Esters can also be synthesized by transesterification In this procedure we shift the equilibrium to the right
Question:
In this procedure we shift the equilibrium to the right by allowing the low-boiling alcohol to distill from the reaction mixture. The mechanism for transesterification is similar to that for an acid-catalyzed esterification (or an acid-catalyzed ester hydrolysis). Write a detailed mechanism for the following transesterification:
