(b)
Interpretation:
To identify the reactions which are not feasible in the above part of the question can be made feasible by adding an acid catalyst.
Concept introduction:
The aminolysis reaction and the hydrolysis of ester can be made feasible by the addition of acid catalyst in the reaction mixture.
The acid catalyst first protonates the carbonyl oxygen thus increses the electrophillitcity of the carbonyl carbon and also protonates the nitogen atom making it good leaving group. Thus, the

H*, H,O Less water-soluble More water-soluble Water-solubility improved due to a negative charge on the product. Water-solubility improved due to a positive charge on the product. The product now has sufficient H-bonding functional groups to support water-solubility. An acetal has been formed which would decrease the water-solubility Another reasonarrow_forward1.

- The two reactions that follow involve nucleophilic substitution at an acyl carbon. For each reaction, show the electrophile and the nucleophile in the key bond- forming step, the corresponding tetrahedral addition intermediate, and the leaving group in the bond-breaking step. Write a general mechanistic scheme (use curved arrows to show bond-making and bond-breaking processes) for these reactions, keeping in mind that acid- and base-catalyzed processes will differ in their timing of proton transfers. 00 || || PhCOCPh+ C₂H5OH 00 |||| PhCOCPh+ 2 CH3NH H₂SO4 cat.
