How to receive ethyl acetate from sucrose

How to receive ethyl acetate from sucrose

Sucrose formula – C12H22O11, ethyl acetate – C4H8O2. Having written a structural formula of CH3-CH2-O-CO-CH3 ethyl acetate, you will see characteristic of the structure of this substance – two organic molecules containing 2 atoms of carbon kind of "connected" via oxygen "bridge".
