Chapter 21.2, Problem 6P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the structure of the alkoxide ion represented by the model, formed by the addition of a nucleophile to a carboxylic acid derivative, the nucleophile, the leaving group, the starting acid derivative and the ultimate product are to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Esters are hydrolysed to carboxylic acids and alcohols both in the presence of acid and base catalysts. The base catalysed hydrolysis takes place in three steps i) The nucleophilic attack of the base on the ester carbonyl group ii) Elimination of the leaving group iii) Exchange of protons.

To identify:

From the structure of the alkoxide ion represented by the model, formed by the addition of a nucleophile to a carboxylic acid derivative, the nucleophile, the leaving group, the starting acid derivative and the ultimate product.
