b) Formation of an ester is an equilibrium process. Mechanisms are often vastly different depending on the conditions used. OH -PROH i. Highlight the differences between acid catalysed and based catalysed conditions and identify whether acidic or basic conditions are ideal for ester formation. ii. Please draw the mechanism of either the acidic or basic conditions. iii. Suggest two laboratory techniques or additives you could use to enhance your yield.
