Ester hydrolysis is an organic reaction which hydrolyzes an ester to a carboxylic acid or carboxylate, and an alcohol. It can be performed with acid as catalyst, or with base as reagent. The mechanism ...
The mechanism of acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of esters is the reverse of Fischer esterification. Acid is only required in catalytic amounts, as in Fischer esterification, and an excess of water drives ...
Interestingly, the intermediate benzoic acid could be more selectively obtained at lower temperatures and ... Additionally, primary alcohols and alkenes are produced as valuable by-products during the ...
Calibration of the electrode was performed before each measurement series using Sigma-Aldrich standard buffers at pH levels of 2.00 (citric acid/sodium hydroxide/hydrogen chloride), 4.01 ...
