Esterification
The reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid to produce an ester and water
2 of 13
Dehydration
An elimination reaction in which water is removed from a saturated molecule to make an unsaturated molecule
3 of 13
Hydrolysis
A reaction with water or aqueous hydroxide ions that breaks a chemical compound into two compounds
