Water and EstersWater and Esters
Esters are hydrolyzed only slowly, even in boiling water.• Hydrolysis becomes more rapid if they are heated with
either aqueous acid or base.
Hydrolysis in aqueous acid is the reverse of Fischer esterification.• acid catalyst protonates the carbonyl oxygen and
increases its electrophilic character toward attack by water (a weak nucleophile) to form a tetrahedral carbonyl addition intermediate.
• Collapse of this intermediate gives the carboxylic acid and alcohol.
