Show Answer
Solution:
- $\mathrm{CH}{3}-\stackrel{\mathrm{O}}{\mathrm{C}}-\stackrel{18}{\mathrm{O}} \mathrm{C}{2} \mathrm{H}{5} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}} \mathrm{CH}{3}-\underset{(A)}{\stackrel{\mathrm{O}}{\mathrm{C}}}-\mathrm{OH}+\underset{(B)}{\mathrm{C}{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}-\stackrel{18}{\mathrm{O}} \mathrm{H}}$
