Removing water through a Dean-Stark apparatus or using a dehydrating agent improves the yield of the Steglich type of this reaction.
Removing water through a Dean-Stark apparatus or using a dehydrating agent improves the yield of the Steglich type of this reaction. The trans-version of this reaction is usually used in the degradation of triglycerides. Diazomethane can prompt this reaction in carboxylic acids. Saponification, another type of these reactions, is the basis of the creation of soap. Refluxing a carboxylic acid and an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst is the basis of a version of this reaction named for Fischer. Name this type of reaction between two compounds, usually an alcohol and an acid, that produces the namesake fruity-smelling compound.
