� The reactivity of acid derivatives can be correlated to the leaving group ability of the base that is expelled. The better the leaving group, the more reactive will be the acid derivative. Not surprising that acid chloride are the most reactive derivatives.

� In all of these reactions, the key feature was the basicity of the nucleophile and leaving group. If the nucleophile is more basic than the leaving group, the reaction will proceed. However, if the nucleophile is less basic than the leaving group, no reaction will occur. Hence, knowing pKa is important.

• Transesterification (21-6)This reaction is very similar to the hydrolysis reaction (see 21-7). The only difference is that an alcohol is used in large excess instead of water. This results in the formation of a new ester, one that has the structure of the alcohol that was used in excess. The reaction can be performed under basic or acidic conditions, the latter being more common.common.
