Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 39P
D. N. Kursanov, a Russian chemist, proved that the bond that is broken in the hydroxide-ion-promoted hydrolysis of an ester is the acyl C—O bond, rather than the alkyl C—O bond, by studying the hydrolysis of the following ester under basic conditions:
- a. What product contained the 18O label?
- b. What product would have contained the 18O label if the alkyl C—O bond had broken?
