Consider the the list below for the formation of esters of acetic acid using different alcohols. What does it tell you about the relative ease of preparation of esters from different types of alcohols?
R'OH =K
methanol = 5.24
n-propanol = 4.07
2-propanol = 2.35
t-butanol = 0.0049
a) esters from primary alcohols are easier to prepare than esters from tertiary alcohols
b) esters from primary alcohols are easier to prepare than esters from secondary alcohols
c) esters from tertiary alcohols are very difficult to prepare
d) all of the above
