Define phenoxide anion and forms acetyl imidazole

Reference no: EM13130679

Imidazole, acting as a nucleophile, catalyzes the hydrolysis of phenyl acetate by attach on the carbonyl carbon atom of the ester. The imidazole displaces the phenoxide anion and forms acetyl imidazole. In turn, the acetyl imidazole is quite unstable in water and hydrolyzes to form acetic acid, and regenerates the imidazole molecule. Write a suitable mechanism outlining these steps.
