Amides undergo hydrolysis to yield carboxylic acid plus amine on heating in either aqueous acid or
aqueous base. The conditions required for amide hydrolysis are more severe than those required for the
hydrolysis of esters, anhydrides or acid chlorides, but the mechanism is similar (nucleophilic acyl
substitution). Nucleophilic acyl substitutions involve a tetrahedral intermediate, hence these are
quite different from alkyl substitution (RCH2 Br 
NaCN
 RCH2 CN) which involves a pentavalent
intermediate or transition state.
One of the important reactions of esters is their reaction with two equivalent of Grignard reagent to give
tertiary alcohols.
