I'm sort of confused about this.
Chad shows the reagents as
1. NaOEt
2. RBr
3. H30+, heat
But on Destroyer (2010 edition #73) for some reason there is a step where a base is used for Ester Hydrolysis prior to protonation and it pulls off the C2H5 group.
Which is the correct way to do this type of problem?
