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.
