Q

base catalysed hydrolysis

A

warm aqueous NaOH
carb acid forms then turns into a salt
increases yield except if carb aid is the desired product

17
Q

name of acylation reaction mechanism

A

nucleophilic addition-elimination

18
Q

addition elimination with water mechanism

A

draw out mechanism with ethanoyl chloride
carboxylic acid product
HCl formed

19
Q

addition elimination with alcohol mechanism

A

draw out mechanism with ethanoyl chloride and propan-1-ol
ester product
HCl formed

20
Q

addition elimination with ammonia

A

draw out mechanism with propanoyl chloride and ammonia
amide is main product
HCl formed but reacts with the excess ammonia to form ammonium chloride

21
Q

addition elimination with amine

A

draw out mechanism with propanoyl chloride and ethylamine
n-substituted amide is the main product
HCL is formed but because an amine is also present it reacts to form ammonium chloride

22
Q

industrial uses of acid anhydrides rather then acyl chlorides

A

-less corrosive
-less volatile
-less expensive
