Hi
Could someone please tell me what kind of catalysis is (so if it is specific/general acid catalysis or specific/general base catalysis):
Aal1
Aac2
Bal2
Thankss :)

1. No idea what these are.
2. Please read the forum rules (https://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?topic=65859.0). You have to show your attempts at answering the question/solving the problem to receive help, it is a forum policy.

Ah sorry thanks for letting me know the policy :)
This question is surrounding the topic of acids and bases - Specific acid catalysis, General acid catalysis, Specific Base catalysis and General Base catalysis
So Aal1, Aac2, Bal2 are types of ester hydrolysis
Aal1 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is acid catalyzed, alkyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is unimolecular
Aac2 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is acid catalyzed, acyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is bimolecular
Bal2 - a type of ester hydrolysis which is basic catalyzed, alkyl-oxygen cleavage and the rate determining step is bimolecular
So my view is that:
Aal1 could be specific acid catalysis
Aac2 could be specific acid catalysis
Bal2 could be general acid catalysis
Is this correct anyone? :) thanks

Thanks for this :) but would Aal1 be specific acid catalysis, Aac2 be specific acid catalysis and Bal2 be general acid catalysis?
