The method of making ethyl acetate from a halogenated alkane
Smell the halogenated alkane to convert to ethyl acetate, and the method has a diameter. First take the halogenated alkane and meet it with sodium alcohol. Sodium alcohol, made of alcohol and sodium metal. Mixing the two, at a suitable temperature, causes nucleophilic substitution. The halogen atom is replaced by an alkoxy group to obtain the product in the ether.

Then, the product is co-placed with acetic anhydride. Control its temperature, adjust its pressure, and make it acylated. The acyl group of acetic anhydride moves on the carbon of alkoxy in the ether, and the halogen atom leaves to obtain ethyl acetate.

During this period, the amount of various things, the degree of temperature and pressure, must be carefully adjusted. The amount is not suitable, and the temperature and pressure are good, which can cause the change of yield, and the side should be born. Therefore, in order to get good results, we must study the theory and practice it carefully.

The above prose aims to simulate the ancient classical Chinese style to explain the process of preparing ethyl acetate from halogenated alkanes. In fact, there is no such chemical knowledge in ancient times, but only according to the requirements of the topic.
