Question

Write an equation that shows the reaction between acetic acid and triethylamine (CH3CH2)3N. Draw all non-bonding lone electron pairs and show the electron flow with curved arrows. QUESTION 4 : Which functional groups are in the structure of Prpstaglandin E1 ?

Answer 1

-) Acid-base reaction

-) Carboxylic acid, alcohol, alkene and ketone

Step-by-step explanation:

For the reaction between acetic acid and triethylamine, we will have an acid-base reaction. Therefore a salt would be produced in this case an "ammonium quaternary salt". Also, we have to remember that on this reaction the acid is the acetic acid and the base is the triethylamine. See figure 1

For the second question, we have to check the structure of Prostaglandin E1 in which we have the functional groups:

1) Carboxylic acid

2) Alcohol

3) Alkene

4) Ketone

See figure 2.

I hope it helps!
