Methyl esters (RCO2CH3) undergoes a clevage reaction to yeildcarboxylate ions plus iosomethane on heating with Lil indimethyl formamideThe following had been obtained......
1. The reaction occurs much faster in DMF than inethanol
2. The corresponding ethyl ester (RCO2CH2CH3) cleaves appromately 10 times more slowly than in methyl esterSo with that...........
A. Propose a mechanism for the reaction
B. What other kinds of experimental evidence could you gather to support this hypothesis?
