Esterification (Alcohol & Carboxylic acid) - Reactions Mechanism & Uses with Videos

SOLVED:Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile to give a carboxylic acid occurs by initial protonation of the nitrogen atom, followed by nucleophilic addition of water. Review the mechanism of base-catalyzed nitrile hydrolysis in Section 20.7, and then write all the steps involved in the acid-catalyzed reaction, using curved arrows to represent electron flow in each step.

SOLVED:The following carboxylic acid can't be prepared from an alkyl halide by either the nitrile hydrolysis route or the Grignard carboxylation route. Explain. (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
