If hydrolysis of ester is carried out inpresence of an acid , usig water containing redioactive oxygen atom, the product most likely to be radioactive is ,

A

alcohol

B

ester

C

acid

D

both 'a' and 'c'

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`RCOOR' + H_(2)O underset(Delta) overset(conc. H_(2)SO_(4)) hArr RCO OH + R' OH`
The radioactive oxygen must be in acid. This technique is known as tracer technique.
