Interpretation Introduction
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

D. N. Kursanov, a Russian chemist, proved that the bond that is broken in the hydroxide-ion-promoted hydrolysis of an ester is the acyl C-O bond, rather than the alkyl C - O bond, by studying the hydrolysis of the following ester under basic conditions: a.What products contained the 18O label? b. What product would have contained the 18O label if the alkyl C - O bond had broken?
The reaction of N-bromosuccinimide with m-tert- butylisopropylbenzene has been reported in the chemical literature. This reaction yields a single product in 95% yield. Draw the product formed from this starting material,
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. Propose a mechanism for the Ritter reaction.b. Why does the Ritter reaction not work with primary alcohols?c. How does the Ritter reaction differ from the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile to form an amide?
