2PRACTICE PROBLEM
Draw a mechanism for the acid-catalyzed reaction of propionic acid and ethanol to form ethyl propionate, including all curved arrows. As a guide, consider the mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester, where HB+ and :B represent the species that donate and remove protons, respectively.
