Consider the following hydrolysis reaction of a pure enantiomer of amide,The correct statement regarding the above hydrolysis reaction is/areA) Both acid and base can act as catalystB) In both acid and base catalysed condition, a pure enantiomer of amine withretention of configuration is obtainedC) Base catalysed hydrolysis is bimolecular while acid catalysed is unimolecularD) Base catalysed hydrolysis is unimolecular while acid catalysed is bimolecular |

Answer» Answer: A,B Amides can be hydrolysed in both acidic medium. During hydrolysis of amides, alkylnitrogen bond is not dissociated, hence configuration at a-carbon of amine is retained. |
