How do you hydrolyse esters?
Identify the products of a basic hydrolysis of an ester. Esters are neutral compounds, unlike the acids from which they are formed. In typical reactions, the alkoxy (OR′) group of an ester is replaced by another group. One such reaction is hydrolysis, literally “splitting with water.”.

Hydrolysis using dilute alkali. This is the usual way of hydrolysing esters. The ester is heated under reflux with a dilute alkali like sodium hydroxide solution. There are two big advantages of doing this rather than using a dilute acid. The reactions are one-way rather than reversible, and the products are easier to separate.
An ester is hydrolyzed, either by aqueous base or aqueous acid, to yield a carboxylic acid plus an alcohol. Ester hydrolysis in basic solution is called saponification, after the Latin word sapo, meaning “soap.” We’ll see in Section 27.2 that soap is in fact made by boiling animal fat with aqueous base to hydrolyze the ester linkages.
Oct 27, 2022 · 1. Basic Hydrolysis of Esters (Saponification) When esters are treated with hydroxide ion, followed by neutralization with acid, they are converted into carboxylic acids. This process is called basic hydrolysis of esters.
