Chapter 21, Problem 21.14P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The complete, detailed mechanism and the overall product for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

The ester is hydrolyzed to the carboxylic acid under acidic conditions, so no strong base should appear in the mechanism. Water is the nucleophile, and the leaving group is a molecule of ethanol. Proton transfer steps are incorporated to avoid the appearance of strong bases.

Answer to Problem 21.14P

The mechanism and product for the given reaction is:

EBK ORGANIC CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND M, Chapter 21, Problem 21.14P , additional homework tip  1

Explanation of Solution

In Step 1 of the mechanism, the acid protonates the ester’s carbonyl group, and in Step 2, water attacks the carbonyl C atom yielding a tetrahedral intermediate. Steps 3 and 4 are proton transfers. In Step 3, the O atom from the original nucleophile becomes uncharged, and thus is stabilized. In Step 4, the singly bonded O atom of the original ester gains a positive charge, which increases its leaving group ability. In Step 5, the leaving group departs and the C=O bond is reformed, and in Step 6, the carbonyl O is deprotonated yielding the overall uncharged product.

Conclusion

The complete, detailed mechanism and the overall product for the given reaction is drawn by acid-catalyzed ester hydrolysis.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The complete, detailed mechanism and the overall product for the given reaction is to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

This is an acid-catalyzed transesterification, and a new ester is formed. Cyclohexanol acts as the nucleophile in this acid-catalyzed nucleophilic addition–elimination mechanism, and the leaving group is a molecule of methanol. Proton transfer steps are incorporated to avoid the appearance of strong bases.
