To solve the problem, let's break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understand the Reactants We start with a racemic mixture of (±) 2-phenylpropanoic acid. This means we have equal amounts of two enantiomers: the (+) form and the (−) form of 2-phenylpropanoic acid. ### Step 2: Identify the Alcohol The alcohol used in the reaction is (+) 2-butanol. This alcohol is chiral and has one stereocenter. ...

Amides undergo hydrolysis to yield carboxylic acid plus amine on heating in either aqueous acid or aqueous base. The conditions required for amide hydrolysis are more severe than those required for the hydrolysis of esters, anhydrides or acid chlorides, but the mechanism is similar (nucleophilic acyl substitution). Nucleophilic acyl substitutions involve a tetrahedral intermediate, hence these are quite different from alkyl substitution (RCH_(2)Broverset(NaCN)to RCH_(2)CN) which involves a pentavalent intermediate or transition state. One of the important reactions of esters is their reaction with two equivalent of Grignard reagent to give tertiary alcohols. Which of the following constitutes the best substrate during the acidic hydrolysis of amides?
