- B saponification
- C alkalisation
- D None of these
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) esterification
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Acids react with alcohols give ester, this process is known as esterification.
\(
\mathrm{RCOOH}+\mathrm{R}^{\prime} \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{RCOOR}^{\prime}
\)
acid \(\quad\) alcohol ester
\(
\mathrm{RCOOH}+\mathrm{R}^{\prime} \mathrm{OH} \longrightarrow \mathrm{RCOOR}^{\prime}
\)
acid \(\quad\) alcohol ester
