Study Notes

Amide Hydrolysis

  • Amides hydrolyze to form carboxylic acids and ammonia
  • RCONHâ‚‚ + Hâ‚‚O → R-COOH + NH₃

Ester Hydrolysis

  • Esters hydrolyze to form carboxylic acids and alcohols
  • RCOOR' + Hâ‚‚O → R-COOH + R'-OH

Acid Chloride Hydrolysis

  • Acid chlorides hydrolyze to form carboxylic acids and hydrochloric acid
  • R-COCl + Hâ‚‚O → R-COOH + HCl
