Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mechanism that shows the saponification of ethyl benzoate has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The substitution reaction involves the replacement of one functional group by other functional group.

In a nucleophilic substitution reaction, an electron rich species attacks the species that is deficient in electrons.

The electrophile and the leaving group together form a substrate. The nucleophile attacks over the substrate and there occurs the removal of leaving group from the substrate.
