Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for an uncatalyzed hydrolysis of methyl propionate.
Concept introduction:
The hydrolysis reaction of etser is the reaction in which the breaking of ester bond is done by using water molecule. The product obtained after the ester hydrolysis is the corresponding carboxylic acid. The hydrolysis reaction can be done in the presence of an acid or base to increase the
The general reaction of an ester to produce in presence of only water is written as,
(b)
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for aminolysis of phenyl formate using methyl amine.
Concept introduction:
The reaction of a carboxylic acid derivative with ammonia, primary and secondary
