Explain why is it not possible to use acetic acid

Reference no: EM13543153

Why is it not possible to use acetic acid rather than formic acid in the Eischwieler-Clarke reaction? Look at the mechanism step involving transfer of a hydride (hydrogen w/ a pair of electrons. What part of formic acid is missing in acetic acid?)
