Chemistry help !, I couldn't find information related to that dicarboxylic acid reacts with little c.H2SO4 to give a cyclic compound, in neither AS level nor A2 Level. It is such a totally weird question.
Question 5 (d) (i)
Could you guys plz help me?
lets see look buddy there are two possible reactions to this
1.conc sulfuric acid will form an alkene but the number of C atoms will remain the same
2. conc sulfuric acid is also used for esterification esterification will increase the number of C atoms wont they.
well the examiner says there is a cyclic compound meaning there will be minimum of 6 C atoms
he didnt provide us with an acid or alcohol ?? well he doesnt had to as X is both alcohol and acid
