Concept introduction:
The reaction in which one form of an ester is converted to another form by changing the carbon skeleton of the alkoxide part (OR) of the ester is called transesterification. The transesterification reaction is a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction. In the first step, the nucleophile adds the electro-poor carbonyl carbon of the ester, which forces the bonding pair of carbonyl p bond onto the O atom. A negative charge is produced on that O, and a tetrahedral intermediate is formed. In the second step, tetrahedral intermediate undergoes nucleophilic elimination to form the transesterification product. The transesterification is a reversible reaction. The base hydrolysis of an ester to produce corresponding
Answer to Problem 20.28P
The product for the reaction between
The complete detailed, mechanism for the given reaction is
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is
So this is a saponification reaction of
In the second step, nucleophilic elimination takes place to produce an alkoxide ion and corresponding carboxylic acid. These steps are reversible.
In the third step, irreversible deprotonation of the carboxylic acid takes place and the carboxylate ion is formed. Finally, on acid workup step, protonation of the carboxylate ion takes place to form the carboxylic acid.
Thus, the products of the given reaction are
The product is predicted by using transesterification concept and the detailed mechanism is drawn.
