Chapter 22, Problem 22.63AP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The product obtained from ester hydrolysis of $1-\text{cyclohexenyl acetate}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

An ester is a derivative of carboxylic which is obtained by replacing the $-\text{OH}$ group with $-\text{OR}$ group where $\text{R}$ is any hydrocarbon chain. It is represented by the formula $\text{RCOOR}$. An ester is formed by the reaction of carboxylic with alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction is known as Fischer esterification. The reverse of esterification reaction is known as acidic hydrolysis. When ester undergoes hydrolysis in the base, it is known as saponification.

Concept introduction:

The reason as to why the equilibrium for hydrolysis of the compound $A$ is much more favorable than the compound $B$ is to be stated.
