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?

- 12 Why is ethanal a stronger acid than ethane? CH3-C-H ethanal CH3-CH3 ethane A. The conjugate base of ethanal (enolate ion) is stabilized by resonance; thus, the compulsion of ethanal to lose a H* (forming the enolate) is increased. Ethane's conjugate base is not stabilized. B. The inductive electron withdrawing effect of the C=O in ethanal increases its proclivity to release a H* C. Steric factors make ethanal the stronger acid. D. You can write resonance structures for ethanal (the carbon acid), indicating enhanced stability. Because the carbon acid is more stable, its acid strength is greater.arrow_forwardBelow is a structure of Levonorgestrel (Plan B®), used in prevention of pregancy. но HH H.
