Record the general mechanism involving the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (Fischer esterification). Draw the structures of the possible products and look up their molecular weights and their boiling points.
I have taken example of acetic acid and methanol.
You can take any example and just follow the mechanism I have provided in the solution.

Record the general mechanism involving the condensation of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol (Fischer esterification)....
1. Is in refrence to a fischer esterification reaction using an
alcohol and carboxylic acid to synthesis octyl acetate.

Thank you in advance!
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.

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!!
4. Read about infrared spectroscopy...
A Fischer Esterification reaction forms an ester from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. This reaction is catalyzed with sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Which of the following statements below correctly describe an acid catalyzed reaction. Mark all the statements that are correct. Once the acid is consumed the reaction will stop until additional acid is added. An excess of acid is needed to get this reaction to run to completion. Acid is regenerated during the reaction. Only a small amount of...
Draw the structures of both the alcohol and the carboxylic acid that can undergo a condensation reaction to form the following ester Then, name each. You will have to upload a file for the structures
Please provide computer drawn fischer esterification reaction mechanism using: isopropyl alcohol + propionic acid --(H2SO4)--> isopropyl propionate + H2O
please help! thank you
47) Draw out the reaction mechanism for a Fischer esterification reaction with ethanol and benzoic acid in hot acidic conditions. Name the products. 48) Draw out the reaction mechanism for a Fischer esterification reaction when 5-hydroxyhexanoic acid is heated. Name the products if you feel ambitious.
