Cuando un triéster reacciona con tres equivalentes de hidróxido de sodio (NaOH), cada enlace éster se rompe por la acción del ion hidroxilo, que ataca al carbono del grupo carbonilo. Como resultado, se forman tres sales de carboxilato de sodio (que son los jabones) y glicerol como el otro producto.

En el proceso, el ion hidroxilo rompe los enlaces éster, liberando el grupo alcoxi del glicerol, que luego se protona para formar el alcohol final. Después de todas las hidrólisis, los productos que se obtienen son glicerol y tres carboxilatos de sodio (R–COO⁻ Na⁺). Si la mezcla se acidifica al final, esos carboxilatos se convierten en ácidos grasos libres.

Translation

"When a triester reacts with three equivalents of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), each ester bond is broken by the action of the hydroxyl ion, which attacks the carbon of the carbonyl group. The result is three sodium carboxylate salts (which are soaps) and glycerol as the other product.

In the process, the hydroxyl ion breaks the ester bonds, releasing the alkoxy group from glycerol, which is then protonated to form the final alcohol. After all the hydrolyses, the resulting products are glycerol and three sodium carboxylates (R–COO⁻ Na⁺). If the mixture is acidified at the end, these carboxylates are converted into free fatty acids."

But do you have a question?
