What is Understanding Esterification Reactions about?
Esterification is a reaction that forms esters from an alcohol and an acid. Esters have characteristic odors and are used in fragrances and flavors. They are also found in polymers. Esterification is reversible and hydrolysis involves adding water to break esters into alcohols and acids. Salicylic acid is derived from willow bark and is used in organic synthesis and as a plant hormone. It can be esterified to form aspirin.
