Lesson: Reactions of Esters Chemistry

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to describe the reactions of esters and predict what products are formed.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the acid and base hydrolysis of esters,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the saponification of large esters,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the ammonolysis of esters,
describe the reactants, catalysts, and reaction conditions for the polymerization of esters.
predict the products of the above reactions given the reactants, or vice versa.
