Question 1
What is transesterification?
◦ An acid-catalyzed conversion of one ester to another is called transesterification.
◦ An interconversion reaction sequence (carboxylic acid) → (ester) → (carboxylic acid) is called transesterification.
◦ Transesterification is a reaction that increases the oxidation number of carbon in esters.
◦ Transesterification is a reaction in which the starting ester is transformed into any other organic family.
◦ A reaction that produces more reactive acyl compounds (such as acyl chlorides) from esters is called transesterification.
