Here, the ester molecule contains a labelled oxygen atom
(b)
Interpretation:
Considering the base hydrolysis of given ester answer the follwoing questions.
(b) The product which contains labelled oxygen atom
Concept introduction:
The hydrolysis reaction of an ester can be catalyzed in presence of a base that is hydroxide ion. The rate of reaction increase due to the presence of hydroxide ion which can act as better nucleophile than water molecule. Thus substitution of alkoxide group takes place and carboxylic acid formation occur. The general reaction of base hydrolysis of en ester is written as,
Here, the ester molecule contains a labelled oxygen atom

- The reaction of a nitrile with an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid forms an N-substituted amide. This reaction, known as the Ritter reaction, doesnot work with primary alcohols. a. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols? b. Provide an explanation for why an amide is less susceptible to nucleophilic attack than its corresponding ester.arrow_forward4.

- Please helparrow_forwardThe behavior of esters and ketones in a reaction with a nucleophile is different because: 1) the carbonyl of the ketone is more positive. 2) the ester cannot form a tetrahedral intermediate. 3) the two oxygens of the ester sterically hinder the nucleophile attack. 4) there is a reasonable leaving group in the ester.
