[PDF] basic ester hydrolysis mechanism

In basic hydrolysis, the molecule of the base splits the ester linkage. The acid portion of the ester ends up as the salt of the acid (in this case, the potassium salt). The alcohol portion of the ester ends up as the free alcohol.

  • What is the mechanism of acid hydrolysis of ester?

    The actual catalyst in this case is the hydroxonium ion, H3O+, present in all solutions of acids in water. In the first step, the ester takes a proton (a hydrogen ion) from the hydroxonium ion. The proton becomes attached to one of the lone pairs on the oxygen which is double-bonded to the carbon.

  • What is the mechanism of acid hydrolysis of ester?

    Esterification is the process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water; or a chemical reaction resulting in the formation of at least one ester product.
    Ester is obtained by an esterification reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
