esters: hydrolysis

[nancy9494]

So i think this is a hydrolysis of an ester, but I'm not sure. If it is, do I need to add water as a solvent? Most of the examples I have seen with an ester under basic conditions is that there is H2O written alongside the anionic base. 

Thanks in advance

I think you need to start by counting your carbons. They don't look like they match between your reagent / reactant and your product. You might also like to consider the feasibility of your sulfur reagent.

@OP, If you have a sodium as a countering, what does that suggest about the rest of the reagent?
