Problem 20P

Propose a mechanism for the hydrolysis of N,N-dimethylacetamide

(a) under basic conditions.

(b) under acidic conditions.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Solution 20P

Step 1

(a) The mechanism for the hydrolysis of N, N- dimethyl acetamide under basic conditions is as follows:

This mechanism takes place in three steps. 1) Addition of the nucleophile (2) Elimination of the leaving group and (3) Proton transfer

Step 1: Addition of nucleophile:

Base attacks on the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.
