(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism for the hydrolysis of the given compound under basic conditions is to be drawn, the product that contains 18O label is to be predicted and also if the product butan-2-ol would be pure (R), pure (S) or racemized is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Hydrolysis of esters occurs under acidic and basic conditions. Carboxylate ion and alcohol are obtained by the hydrolysis of ester under basic condition whereas; carboxylic acid and alcohol are obtained from the hydrolysis of ester under acidic condition.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

An experimental proof for the position of 18O label in the product is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The replacement of atom with its isotope in a chemical compound is termed as isotope labelling. The physical and chemical properties of compound change on attachment of isotope to it.
