Base Catalysis in Organic Reactions by umar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1. Base catalysis involves the transfer of a proton in the transition state or involves OH- from the solvent that diffuses into the catalytic center, bases that facilitate transfer of H+ in the transition state. 2. Common examples of base catalyzed reactions include aldol condensation, keto-enol tautomerism, and imidazole catalyzed ester hydrolysis via an acyl intermediate. 3. The catalyst lowers the kinetic barrier by decreasing the difference in energy between starting material and transition state, b
