The product will be an ester; an alcohol and a carboxylic acid produce an ester.

In this case:

CH3-CH3-CH=CH-CH2O(HO)CH-CH2-CH3

There's something dodgy about that. Esterfication is a Acid + Alcohol --> Ester + Water. It would be something more like

CH3-CCH3=CH-CH2-COO-CH2-CH3 + H2O

CH3COCH3 is Acetone. CH2 is the methylene group e.g. hexamethylene tetramine which is (CH2)6N4

Please note that this thread has nothing to do with pyrotechnics. It will now be closed and erased tommorow.
