Answer:
Few important points related to reaction:
1. is a one-step reaction that follows second order kinetics.
2. In reaction, a transition state is formed in situ.
3. Strong nucleophiles like are used in case of bi-molecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Ethyl acetate can be prepared by a second-order nucleophilic substitution reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide.
The reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide is drawn below:
