Abstract
Naturally occurring esters are common. The esters of glycerol and organic acids, constituting vegetable oils and animal fats, are essential to many forms of life. Esters of monohydroxy alcohols and organic acids occur in fruits and flowers and are partially responsible for their characteristic odors. Modern chemical technology has lifted the class of esters to still higher levels of importance in the lives of men. By varying the reactants and the reaction conditions, many compounds of significant industrial importance have been produced. Because of this wide applicability of esters in industry, esterification, its mechanism and kinetics, is under intensive research and investigation.
