Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The technique of acid-catalyzed ester hydrolysis. Fundamentally, we're rearranging the Fischer - tropsch procedure.

02

Given Information 

When water is often used in surplus, the reaction happens compounds to be converted into into glycolic acetic anhydride.

03

Explanation

An alcohol and a carboxylate are now the outcomes of enzymatic hydrolysis of an ester. Dehydrogenation of methyl salicylate, for illustration, provides acetone and isopropyl alcohol.
