Which ester is formed
« on: October 06, 2012, 10:23:22 AM »
Which ester is formed when isopropyl alcohol is treated with ethanoic acid and concentrated [tex] H_2SO_4[/tex]?

I was thinking of [tex] CH_3COOCH(CH_3)_2 [/tex] though I am not sure.
I am horrible at chemistry.I am always liable to fail my chemistry exams.So, sorry for stupid questions.
