Here $\mathrm{x}$ and $\mathrm{y}$ can be given as (a) $\mathrm{SO}_{2}, \mathrm{HCl}$ (b) $\mathrm{SO}_{2}^{2}$, Pyridine hydro chloride (c) $\mathrm{SOCl}_{2}, \mathrm{HCl}$ (d) $\mathrm{SO}_{3}$, Pyridine hydro chloride
Select the reagent for the following reaction: 3-cyclohexylpropanoyl chloride + pyridine ethyl 3-cyclohexylpropanoate Acid halide Anhydride Ester Amide Alcohol Amine Carboxylic acid or carboxylate (the conjugate base of carboxylic acid)
