The acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester. (Left) An ester is "made up" of two pieces – a carboxylic acid and an alcohol – minus a molecule of water. The red hatch line shows an ester bond, which ...

Hydrophobicity and effective acid catalysis ... Effect of the Hydrophobicity of the Environment Surrounding Brønsted Acid Sites on Their Catalytic Activity for the Hydrolysis of Organic Molecules.

Optimization of dilute acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch for high yield production of xylose. Chemical Engineering Journal , 2012; 181-182: 636 DOI: 10.1016/j.cej.2011.12.030 ...

As a result, the mild acid hydrolysis route is often the way to go. Therefore, there is an urgent need for physiochemical studies of SFs during the chemical hydrolysis process." ...

It can be made in the lab by the acid-catalyzed esterification of formic acid and methanol. Industrially, it is produced by the base-catalyzed reaction of methanol and carbon monoxide. The industrial ...

IntroductionUpon addition of hydrogen peroxide to Rochelle's salt (sodium potassium tartrate), the hydrogen peroxide decomposes and tartaric acid is oxidized. This reaction proceeds very slowly at ...
