Which of the following compounds is (are) hydrolyzed tobutanoic acid upon heating in H20, H2SO4?
1 answer:
Answer:
The correct option is option e, both A and C
Explanation:
Ethyl butanoate is an ester. Ester undergoes hydrolysis when heated with water containing dilute acids. Ester hydrolysis gives carboxylic acid and alcohol.
Therefore, ethyl butanoate on hydrolysis gives butanoic acid and ethanol.
Amide also undergoes acidic hydrolysis and yields carboxylic acid and amine.
N-methylbutanamide is an amide. It gives butanoic acid and methylamine when undergoes hydrolysis with H2O in the presence of H2SO4.
Hence, the correct option is option e.
