nancy9494 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) So i think this is a hydrolysis of an ester, but I'm not sure. If it is, do I need to add water as a solvent? Most of the examples I have seen with an ester under basic conditions is that there is H2O written alongside the anionic base. Thanks in advance Edited February 26, 2018 by nancy9494 forgot picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I think you need to start by counting your carbons. They don't look like they match between your reagent / reactant and your product. You might also like to consider the feasibility of your sulfur reagent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabcockHall Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @OP, If you have a sodium as a countering, what does that suggest about the rest of the reagent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
