Solved: Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile to give a carboxylic acid occurs by
Chapter 20, Problem 20.51(choose chapter or problem)
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of a nitrile to give a carboxylic acid occurs by initial protonation of the nitrogen atom, followed by nucleophilic addition of water. Review the mechanism of base-catalyzed nitrile hydrolysis in Section 20.7, and then write all the steps involved in the acid-catalyzed reaction, using curved arrows to represent electron flow in each step.
