When ethyl benzoate is heated in methanol containing a


When ethyl benzoate is heated in methanol containing a small amount of HCl, methyl benzoate is formed. Draw structural formulas for the first two intermediates in this reaction.

Indicate the order of formation of the intermediates by drawing a 'React' arrow from the first intermediate to the second.

When relevant, use the "+ charge" tool to convert a neutral oxygen or nitrogen atom to its protonated state. When you do this an additional hydrogen is added automatically along with the charge. Do not draw the additional hydrogens yourself.
