Ester synthesis reaction. In this chemistry video lesson, we will study the esterification reaction, also known as Fischer esterification. The esterification reaction or esterification process occurs between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol and generates ester and water as products. This type of reaction can also be classified as a condensation reaction. In this chemistry video lesson on organic reactions, we will study intermolecular and intramolecular esterification, the latter being responsible for the formation of a lactone ring, a lactone. FUVEST 2001 Question Consider the reaction represented below: If, in another reaction, similar to the first, the mixture of acetic acid and methanol is replaced by 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, the reaction products will be water and a) unsaturated carboxylic acid with 4 carbon atoms per molecule. b) cyclic ester with 4 carbon atoms per molecule. c) alcohol with 4 carbon atoms per molecule. d) cyclic ester with 5 carbon atoms per molecule. e) alcohol with 3 carbon atoms per molecule. ????
