The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester converts an
ester into a carboxylic acid. Although there are two O
atoms that can be protonated, the first step in the
mechanism is believed to be protonation of the oxygen
in the C=0 group. Based on charge stability, why is it
favorable to protonate that oxygen? Hint: Draw out the
products of each protonation.
