(a)
Interpretation:
The given reaction has to be completed by drawing its product structure.
Concept Introduction:
Hydrolysis of Ester:
The reaction in which a bond is broken by the addition of water molecule is called as hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis of esters yields the
The general reaction of ester hydrolysis is shown below,
In case of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester, the carboxylic acid does not exist. The reaction results in the formation of salt of carboxylic acid containing the cation of the base catalyst.
