Need help with reaction mechanism

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-12-18] [Hit: ]
If the indicated CH3 group is replaced by an OH group you no longer have an acetate ester, but rather a bicarbonate -- and I doubt you want that.Explain further.-Well, it’s a bit tricky question :), but I can tell you about a tutor who can solve your issue and he is helping students a lot through online tutoring.......
I'm new to reaction mechanisms and I'm having trouble making one for the synthesis of alpha-methyl benzyl acetate. I found a mechanism online which sort of looked like something I'm supposed to make. I just changed the R groups with my R groups, but then I end up with the wrong molecule. Here it is: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/205/reactione.jpg/

As you can see I end up with a methyl group instead of OH. Could someone please help me out here?

I don't understand your question. The attachment correctly shows the mechanism for the preparation of a-methylbenzyl acetate in pyridine. If the indicated CH3 group is replaced by an OH group you no longer have an acetate ester, but rather a bicarbonate -- and I doubt you want that.
Explain further.

Well, it’s a bit tricky question :), but I can tell you about a tutor who can solve your issue and he is helping students a lot through online tutoring. If you need online classes in your subject, then he can teach you very well at a very affordable fee. I am getting help from him as well : )
Just drop him an email at 1classhelp@gmail.com

I am sure your problems will be solved.
