Question
Chapter 21.7D, Problem 21.22P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A mechanism corresponding to the basic hydrolysis of benzonitrile to the benzoate ion and ammonia is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The basic hydrolysis of benzonitrile to the benzoate ion and ammonia comprises three steps. The first step is the addition of hydroxide ion to the carbon of cyano group. The second step is formation of enol tautomer of amide. The third step is the tautomerism (removal and displacement of a proton).
