Esterification reaction
The reaction between Acid and an Alcohol to produce ester as the product is called Esterification reaction. During this reaction a molecule of water is eliminated.
Ex: CH₃COOH + C₂H₅OH →CH₃COOC₂H₅ + H₂O
In the above reaction Ethanoic acid reacted Ethyl alcohol to form an ester Ethyl Acetate and water molecule.
Saponification:
Esters react in the presence of an acid or a base to give back the alcohol and carboxylic acid. This is called saponification reaction. This is reverse reaction of esterification reaction.
CH3COOC2H5 + NaOH → CH3-COOH + CH3-CH2-OH
Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is the process of addition of hydrogen. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are added with hydrogen in the presence of palladium and nickel catalysts to give saturated hydrocarbons.
