分子间脱水:HO—CH2—CH2—COOH+HO—CH2—CH2—COOH==HO—CH2—CH2—COO—CH2—CH2—COOH+H2O
两分子间反应生成环脂
分子中同时存在羟基和羧基
因此在浓硫酸加热的条件下,两个乳酸可以发生酯化,生成环状的酯
(1)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH(COOH)-O-CH(COOH)-CH3+H2O
(2)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH(COOH)-OOC-CH(OH)-CH3+H2O
(3)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH-OOC-CH-CH3+H20
\COO /
(4)nCH3-(OH)CH-COOH===〔-O-CH(CH3)-CO-〕+nH2O 这里两边要长出括号
1)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH(COOH)-O-CH(COOH)-CH3+H2O
(2)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH(COOH)-OOC-CH(OH)-CH3+H2O
(3)2CH3-(OH)CH-COOH===CH3-CH-OOC-CH-CH3+H20
