Introduction to the Concept

Chemical synthesis is the technique of transforming a reactant or beginning material right into a product or many products through appearing one or extra chemical reactions.

Solution Explanation

Qiana is a polymerization that occurs as a result of condensation. It is caused by the dehydration of the aforementioned monomers as follows:

 

The monomer units are linked by c nucleophiles acyl substitution during condensation by dehydration.
