Thioester hydrolysis yielding more energy than O ester

Last updated: 6/23/2023

Thioester hydrolysis yielding more energy than O ester hydrolysis is ultimately due to Sulphur being a larger atom than oxygen Bond between S and carbonyl carbon is of lower energy Thioesters are more resonance stabilized Products of O ester hydrolysis have lower degree of solvation than its reactants in water
