Question
Chapter 20.8, Problem 7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reaction mechanism for the hydrolysis of ethyl benzoate is to be proposed on the basis of the mentioned general mechanism for acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of ester.
Concept introduction:
The reaction in which the hydrolysis of an ester into alcohol and carboxylic acid takes place in the presence of an acid catalyst, such a reaction is commonly known as acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester.
The hydrolysis of esters is catalyzed by either an acid or a base. Acidic hydrolysis is the reverse of esterification, and the ester is heated with a large excess of water containing a strong-acid catalyst.
