Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow mechanism for the hydrolysis of the N-methylbenzamide in acidic solution is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrolysis is the reaction in which a compound is broken down using the molecule of water. The hydrolysis reactions are generally catalyzed by acids and bases. The hydrolysis of the carboxylic derivatives produces carboxylic acids.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The curved-arrow mechanism for the hydrolysis of the N-methylbenzamide in basic solution is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The hydrolysis is the reaction in which a compound is broken down from one bond using the molecule of water. The hydrolysis reactions are generally catalyzed by acids and bases. The hydrolysis of the carboxylic derivatives produces carboxylic acids.
