Chapter 13, Problem 13.46UKC

a.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Product that forms has to be drawn when phenacetic is treated with water and sodium hydroxide.

Concept Introduction:

Amide also undergo hydrolysis as like esters.  They are much less reactive than the esters.  When amide is treated with water in presence of base as a catalyst, the product formed is carboxylate salt and amine.  General reaction can be given as follows.

    $\text{RCONHR' +}H-\text{OH}\stackrel{\text{NaOH}}{\to }{\text{RCOO}}^{-}{\text{Na}}^{\text{+}}{\text{ + NH}}_{\text{2}}\text{R'}$
