Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to an<u>alyze the reagents</u>. We have valine an <u>amino acid</u>, in this kind of compounds we have an <em>amine group</em> (NH_2) and a <em>carboxylic acid</em> group (COOH).  Additionally, we have an <u>alcohol </u>(CH_3CH_2OH) in the presence of HCl (a <u>strong acid</u>) in the first step, and a base (OH^-).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an <u>esterification reaction</u>. In other words, an ester is produced. As the <em>first step,</em> the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the <em>second step</em>, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In <em>step 3</em>, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group (H_2O). In <em>step 4</em>, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. <em>Finally</em>, a base (OH^-) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
