- State three factors that cause the uncatalyzed hydrolysis of an ester to be a slow reaction. a Which is faster, the hydrolysis of an ester or the aminolysis of the same ester? Explain.arrow_forwardWhen some sugars dissolve in water they spontaneously undergo changes in optical rotation called mutarrotation. The Mutarrotation of D-glucopyranose is catalyzed by acid and bases. 2-Hydroxypyridine is a more effective catalyst than phenol and pyridine for this reaction because: a.Both oxygen and N in 2-hydroxypyridine act as bases increasing the rapid interconversion of sugar b. The OH of 2-hydroxypyridine serves as the base while the current N as the acid. c. 2-hydroxypyridine acts both as a base to remove the proton from the hydroxyl group in the hemiacetal and as an acid to provide a proton to the oxygen in the hemiacetal. d.Phenol and pyridine are very expensive.arrow_forwardWhen glucose undergoes base-catalyzed isomerization in the absence of the enzyme, mannose is one of the products that is formed.
