Chapter 14.2, Problem 14.8Q

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The IUPAC name for the products has to be written.

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 carboxylic acid and an alcohol.  The heat is required to initiate the reaction and a small amount of acid ${\text{(H}}^{\text{+}}\text{)}$ is added as catalyst.

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.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given reaction has to be completed by drawing its product structure.
