Question
Chapter 21.7C, Problem 21.21P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The steps that are sufficiently exothermic to drive the reactions to completion in the hydrolysis mechanisms (both acidic and basic) of
Concept introduction:
The acidic hydrolysis of an amide comprises two stages. The first half is an acid catalyzed addition of the nucleophile (water). The second half is an acid catalyzed elimination of the leaving group.
The basic hydrolysis of an amide comprises three steps. The first step is addition of the nucleophile. The second step is elimination of the leaving group. The third step is proton transfer.

Bisphenol A is widely used as a building block in polymer synthesis and is found in the polycarbonate hard plastics of reusable drink containers, DVDs, cell phones, and other consumer goods. Bisphenol A is reported to have estrogenic activity, and its widespread occurrence in our environment is a potential concern. Describe one or two biochemical experiments that could be done to compare the activity of bisphenol A with that of its estradiol, its structural relative.
Indicate whether the following statement is true or false.
Aliphatic amines are more basic than ammonia, whereas aromatic amines are less basic than ammonia.
When amines are reacted with bases, they form ammonium salts.
