What can happen if a carboxylic acid ester (e.g. methyl caproate) is exposed to a slightly acidic aqueous environment (e.g. sweaty skin) for a period of hours? The fruity pineapple odor of methyl caproate would change to what kind of odor?
Write the reaction equation showing structural formulas for the formation of an ester from 2-methyl-1-butanol and acetic acid?
