ESTERFICATION-is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two chemicals (typically an acid and an alcohol) form an ester as the reaction product (water). Synthesis-When a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react, a water molecule is removed, and an ester molecule is formed. Example- acetic acid and ethanol react to form ethyl ethanoate and water H3C-COOH + HO-CH2-CH3 → H3C-COO-CH2-CH3 + H2O
