Fischer Esterification and Saponification

The video tutorial explains Fischer esterification, a process to create esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols under acidic conditions. It details the mechanism, emphasizing the role of acid catalysis and the importance of equilibrium, guided by Le Chatelier's principle. The tutorial also introduces saponification, the reverse process in basic conditions, highlighting the complementary nature of these reactions.
