(a)
Interpretation:
To write the mechanism for an uncatalyzed hydrolysis of methyl propionate.
Concept introduction:
The hydrolysis reaction of etser is the reaction in which the breaking of ester bond is done by using water molecule. The product obtained after the ester hydrolysis is the corresponding
The general reaction of an ester to produce in presence of only water is written as,
