Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Product formed when γ- lactam is treated with the given reagent has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Ester Hydrolysis: Ester hydrolysis can be caused by acid and base.
Saponification: Ester hydrolysis taking place in presence of base such as NaOH or KOH is known as saponification. Ester reacts with hydroxide ion forming
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis: In presence of strong acid such as H2SO4, ester reacts with water to form the corresponding alcohol and carboxylic acid. It is the reverse of esterification.
(b)
Interpretation:
Product formed when γ- lactam is treated with the given reagent has to be shown.
Concept Introduction:
Ester Hydrolysis: Ester hydrolysis can be caused by acid and base.
Saponification: Ester hydrolysis taking place in presence of base such as NaOH or KOH is known as saponification. Ester reacts with hydroxide ion forming carboxylic acid which again reacts with base resulting in the formation of a caboxylate anion.
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis: In presence of strong acid such as H2SO4, ester reacts with water to form the corresponding alcohol and carboxylic acid. It is the reverse of esterification.
