Here, the ester molecule contains a labelled oxygen atom
(b)
Interpretation:
Considering the base hydrolysis of given ester answer the follwoing questions.
(b) The product which contains labelled oxygen atom
Concept introduction:
The hydrolysis reaction of an ester can be catalyzed in presence of a base that is hydroxide ion. The rate of reaction increase due to the presence of hydroxide ion which can act as better nucleophile than water molecule. Thus substitution of alkoxide group takes place and carboxylic acid formation occur. The general reaction of base hydrolysis of en ester is written as,
Here, the ester molecule contains a labelled oxygen atom
