Multi step synthesis of ethyl ethanoate from ethanal? So including reagents end products, conditions aswell. Thankss
Firstly ethanal is oxidised with PCC to give ethanoic acid
CH_3CHO \xrightarrow\text{PCC}CH_3COOH
Ethanoic acid is treated with ethanol to give ethyl ethanoate in presence of dil. sulphuric acid
CH_3COOH + C_2H_5OH \xrightarrow\text{H+}CH_3COOC_2H_5 + H_2O
