Fischer Esterification Reaction Mechanism - Carboxylic Acid Derivatives

This organic chemistry video tutorial provides the mechanism of the fischer esterification reaction which converts a carboxylic acid into an ester using an alcohol and an acid catalyst. This reaction is found in the carboxylic acid derivatives reaction section in your orgo text book. This video contains plenty of examples and practice problems. Molecules used in this video are acetic acid, ethanol, methanol and benzoic acid just to name a few.
