Question

Acetic anhydride reacts with diethyl ether in the presence of anhydrous \[AlC{{l}_{3}}\]  to give

A. $$C{H_3}COOC{H_3}$$
B. $$C{H_3}C{H_2}COOC{H_3}$$
C. $$C{H_3}COOC{H_2}C{H_3}$$  
D. $$C{H_3}C{H_2}OH$$
Answer :   $$C{H_3}COOC{H_2}C{H_3}$$
Solution :
\[\underset{\text{Ether}}{\mathop{{{\left( C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}} \right)}_{2}}}}\,O+\underset{\text{Acid anhydride}}{\mathop{{{\left( C{{H}_{3}}CO \right)}_{2}}O}}\,\xrightarrow{anhy.\,AlC{{l}_{3}}}\underset{\text{Ester}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}COOC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\]
