How many water to basic hydrolysis diethyl oxalate?

The hydrolysis will probably be exothermic, you dont need reflux. I would use 500ml water. Be carefull when dissolving NaOH, it will get very hot, maybe boiling.

When I read about the theory of ester hydrolysis, recommended reflux for a few hours.

OK, 500 ml water, thank you.
