This is an ester hydrolysis with sodium hydroxide


and


After H₃O⁺ treatment they are probably not deuterated.

I just replace the H with D right?

Wait...for product A...the structure you put. I did the exact same thing before and it said it was wrong

ACtually I put OD instead of OH at the bottom right for Product A...
You're saying it's supposed to be OH?

Then make them deuterated.

Then make them deuterated.

Well I actualy did put OD instead of OH at the bottom right for Product A...
I haven't put in OH though...maybe I should try it.
It's supposed to be right though, right?

Oh noes I have to go
I'll be back on around 8 am!!
I have to get back to my dorm.
Thanks for all the help so far!

I would have thought that using H₃O⁺ would have put a proton there. But obviously not, Make the acid OH and the alcohol OH both into OD

with the OD at the bottom right wasn't right the first time I put it... i think the answer may be with the OH.
But the second structure is right with OD (instead of OH)

Yeah the answer for product A is with the OH!
Thanks!!
