1. Which reagent would be most suitable for the following

organic synthesis reaction?

Question: In a synthesis reaction to form an ester, an

alcohol reacts with a carboxylic acid. Which reagent could

be used to catalyze this reaction?

a) Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

b) Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

c) Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

d) Concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

Answer: d) Concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

Rationale: Concentrated sulfuric acid functions as a

catalyst in the esterification reaction by protonating the

carboxylic acid, making it more susceptible to nucleophilic

attack by the alcohol, thus promoting ester formation.

2. Which synthetic method would be most appropriate to

prepare a tertiary alcohol from a ketone?

Question: Which synthetic method is suitable to convert a

ketone into a tertiary alcohol?

a) Oxidation reaction

b) Grignard reaction

c) Reduction reaction

d) Condensation reaction
