Hello everyone today. We are being asked to examine the following car broke Cilic Act reaction shown below, and to predict the product that will form when they react. And so in this example, when we react, this car looks like acid in the presence of an alcohol group, in the presence of sulfuric acid. This is essentially going to be known as a condensation reaction. So this is a condensation reaction and that is essentially when you have non carbon Neil oxygen groups that react and release water as a byproduct. And so for example, these products would look like so so you would still retain your key tone but that oxygen, instead of having hydrogen will now be replaced with a methyl group and you will have water as a secondary byproduct. And with that we have our final answer. I hope this helped. And until next time.
