Hi

Could someone please tell me what kind of catalysis is (so if it is specific/general acid catalysis or specific/general base catalysis):

Aal1
Aac2
Bal2

Thankss

Aal1
Aac2
Bal2

1. No idea what these are.

2. Please read the forum rules. You have to show your attempts at answering the question/solving the problem to receive help, it is a forum policy.

Ah sorry thanks for letting me know the policy

This question is surrounding the topic of acids and bases - Specific acid catalysis, General acid catalysis, Specific Base catalysis and General Base catalysis

So Aal1, Aac2, Bal2 are types of ester hydrolysis

Aal1 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is acid catalyzed, alkyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is unimolecular
Aac2 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is acid catalyzed, acyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is bimolecular
Bal2 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is basic catalyzed, alkyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is bimolecular

So my view is that:
Aal1 could be specific acid catalysis
Aac2 could be specific acid catalysis
Bal2 could be general acid catalysis

Is this correct anyone? thanks

Thanks for this but would Aal1 be specific acid catalysis, Aac2  be specific acid catalysis and Bal2  be general acid catalysis?
