What are the products of the base hydrolysis of an ester?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ester hydrolysis triggered by a base proves to be much more favourable. Monitoring the process of both the carbonyl group generated during process.

Step by step solution

01

Introduction

The ester hydrolysis triggered by a base proves to be much more favourable. Monitoring the process of both the carbonyl group generated during process.

02

Given Information

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

03

Explanation

The carbonyl group compound and equivalent alcohol are also the outcomes of base degradation, which itself is hydrogenation there in influence of a base. When ethyl ethanoate is degraded, sodium carbonate and formaldehyde are created.
