(18.5) Which of the following is the reaction for the acid hydrolysis of N methylacetamide?
$\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\stackrel{\mathrm{I}}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{NH}_{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3}-\stackrel{\mathrm{II}}{\mathrm{C}}-\mathrm{NH}_{2}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the reactants and products
The reactants are N-methylacetamide (CH3-C(=O)-NH-CH3), water (H2O), and hydrochloric acid (HCl). The products are acetic acid (CH3-C(=O)-NH3+) and methanol (CH3OH).
