methyl butanoate
C5h10o2 (Wiki.answers forced me to make capitalization changes)
There are 2 reactants involved. These are;MethanolAnd Butyric AcidThanks :)
It's a catalyst
Methnoic acid because it's only one carbon. So it's meth and because of c=o and oh attached it's carboxylic acid so together it became methnoic acid. Hope it helps!
The molecular formula for methyl butyrate, also known as methyl butanoate, is C5H10O2.
It is slightly soluble in water

Methyl-2-methyl butyrate is CH3-CH2-CH(CH3)-COOCH3, it may be prepared by reacting 2-methyl butyric acid with methanol in presence of sulphuric acid.
indicators - e.g methyl red, methyl orange, phenolphthalein etc.orThose substances are called indicators. They show different colours with different substances. Some common indicators are methyl orange, litmus, phenolphthalein etc.
2-methyl-2-butene is the major product (85%), while 2-methyl-1-butene the minor (15%) in an E1 reaction.
Organic acids and alcohols are reacted (in the presence of a dehydrating agent) to produce esters. And these substances are often recognized by their characteristic odors. In the case here, salicylic acid and methyl alcohol yield methyl salicylate, which is winter-green.
Butanoic acid is more acidic. Presence of electron donating methyl group (as in 3-methyl butanoic acid) will decrease the acidity.
