Mechanism and Reactivity - Attack by OH - Hydrolysis of Carboxylic Esters
3 important questions on Mechanism and Reactivity - Attack by OH - Hydrolysis of Carboxylic Esters
What product(s) is formed when a carboxylic ester is treated with a base?
Since the hydrolysis of a carboxylic ester is an equilibrium reaction, and the formation of the salt shifts the reaction toward the products, what kind of solution is nearly always used for preparative purposes?
What is the special name given to the treatment of a carboxylic ester with a base?
