[PDF] basic hydrolysis of nitriles

The basic hydrolysis of a nitrile to a carboxylic acid is typically done with a hydroxide base (ex. NaOH or KOH) in an appropriate solvent (ex. EtOH/H2O) at high temperatures (ex. reflux).

  • What is the mechanism of hydrolysis of nitriles?

    When nitriles are hydrolysed you can think of them reacting with water in two stages - first to produce an amide, and then the ammonium salt of a carboxylic acid.
    For example, ethanenitrile would end up as ammonium ethanoate going via ethanamide.

  • What is the basic of hydrolysis?

    A hydrolysis reaction is a reaction in which one molecule breaks apart to form multiple smaller molecules.
    Acidic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
    Basic hydrolysis (saponification) of an ester gives a carboxylate salt and an alcohol.

  • What type of reaction is hydrolysis of nitriles?

    Acid hydrolysis
    The nitrile is heated under reflux with a dilute acid such as dilute hydrochloric acid.
    A carboxylic acid is formed.
    For example, starting from ethanenitrile you would get ethanoic acid.

  • What type of reaction is hydrolysis of nitriles?

    Ester Hydrolysis with NaOH or base catalysed ester hydrolysis is the reaction of an ester with water under a basic medium.
    In it, an ester is heated under reflux with dilute NaOH to yield carboxylate salt and alcohol.
    It is also known as saponification reaction, i.e. it is used to synthesise soap.
