In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts
with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester.
During the reaction the sp2 hybridized carbonyl carbon of the acid
forms an sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp2
hybridization in the product. Draw the structure of the neutral sp3
hybridized intermediate and the ester product in the reaction
between pentanoic acid and n-propanol.

Thank you in advance!
This is a Fischer Esterification using the alcohol, methanol,
and the carboxylic acid, butyric acid, to create the ester, methyl
butanoate (smells like apple). After refluxing methanol, butyric
acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, a separatory flask was used
and the ester was extracted using ice water, then diethyl ether,
then 2 portions of sodium carbonate, and a saturated sodium
chloride brine solution. Anyhydrous sodium sulfate was used after
separation to dry the ester. Please help!!

Esterification is the reaction of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol (R'OH) to form an ester (RCOOR') with loss of water. Equation [1] is an example of an intermolecular esterification reaction. Equation [2] is an example of an intramolecular esterification reaction, that is, the carboxylic acid and alcohol are contained in the same starting material, forming a cyclic ester as product. The equilibrium constants for both reactions are given. Explain why K is different for these two apparently similar...
Ph3P CH3 Ph H3C H3C Eto2C The Fischer esterification reaction synthesizes an ester via a nucleophilic acyl substitution reaction The stereochemistry the alcohol oxygen that makes the nucleophilic attack. The Mitsunobu reaction, on the other hand, allows the synthesis of an ester in which the stereochemistry of the alcohol is inverted. The reaction involves a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, as well as triphenylphosphine and an azo compound termed diethyl azodicarboxylate DEAD). As with the Fischer esterification, H20 is formally...
