Which is not a reversible reaction?
Which is not a reversible reaction?
- A. Base-promoted ester hydrolysis
- B. Claisen condensation
- C. Acid catalyst ester hydrolysis
- D. Acetal formation
Step-by-step solution
Base-promoted ester hydrolysis (saponification) is irreversible because the carboxylate ion product is stable and does not react with alcohol to reform the ester. In contrast, acid-catalyzed ester hydrolysis, acetal formation, and Claisen condensation are reversible under typical conditions.
