18.4 Chemical Properties
When carboxylic acid reacts with alcohol in the presence of conc. ${H_2}S{O_4}$ to form ester, which is known as esterification
The relative reactivity of alcohol to ester formation markedly dependent on their structure. The greater the bulk of the substituents near the $—OH$ group, the slower the reaction would be same facts is followed by acid as well
