Concept Introduction:
Base-Hydrolysis of Ester:
Hydrolysis of an ester could also be catalyzed by the presence of a strong base. The base-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester is called as saponification. The general reaction of base-catalyzed hydrolysis is,
In case of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester, the carboxylic acid does not exist. The reaction results in the formation of salt of carboxylic acid containing the cation of the base catalyst.
