    Dear Satya,

    i would Ike to explain you that hydrolysis is a most important reaction of esters . Acidic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylic acid and an alcohol .

    Basic hydrolysis of an ester gives a carboxylate salt and an alcohol

    [OR] group of esters leaves and get replaced with base which eventually forms acid and alcohol

    I hope this information helps you


    All the best
