Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reaction of an alcohol (or phenol ) with carboxylic acid , acid anhydroxide or acid chloride to form corresponding ester is called esterification . For example , `underset("ethanol")(C_(2)H_(5)OH)+underset("Ethanoic acid")(CH_(3)COOH)overset(H^(+))hArrunderset("Ethylethanate")(CH_(3)COOC_(2)H_(5))+H_(2)O`
`underset("Methylalcohol")(CH_(3)OH)+underset("Acetic anhydride")((CH_(3)CO)_(2)O)overset(H)tounderset("Methylacetate")(CH_(3)COOCH_(3))+underset("Aceticacid")(CH_(3)COOH)`
