Fischeresterifiointi
Fischer esterification is a reversible chemical reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an alcohol react in the presence of an acid catalyst to form an ester and water. This process is named after the German chemist Emil Fischer, who first described it. The general equation for the Fischer esterification is:
where R is an alkyl or aryl group and R' is an alkyl or aryl group. The
Fischer esterification is a versatile and widely used method for synthesizing esters. Esters have numerous applications
