Question:

On the basis of the reactions presented in this chapter, write reaction summary charts for esters and amides similar to the chart for acyl halides (Figure 20-1). Compare the number of reactions for each of the compound classes. Is this information consistent with your understanding of the relative reactivity of each of the functional groups?
