general acid–base catalysis

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.G02608
@C00874-1@ by acids or bases in solution is said to be general when it is possible to detect @C00874-2@ brought about by species other than the ions formed from the solvent itself (e.g. when water is the solvent, by species other than H+ and OH− ions).
