Investigating Solvent Effects on the Kinetics and Mechanism of Alkaline Hydrolysis of Ethyl Pyruvate in Aqueous Dimethyl Sulfoxide
Rachana Rani, D. K. Verma, Prahlad Kumar & Archie Shahi · International Research Journal of Pure and Applied Chemistry · 2026
Solvent composition can markedly influence the kinetics and mechanism of ester hydrolysis by altering solvent polarity, dielectric properties, ionic solvation, and transition-state stabilisation. Ethyl pyruvate is an α-keto ester whose alkaline hydrolysis provides a suitable syst...
