5 In the Fischer esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. During the reaction the sp2 hybridized carbonyl carbon of the acid forms an sp3 hybridized intermediate before returning to sp² hybridization in the product. Draw the structure of the neutral sp³ hybridized intermediate and the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and n-propanol. pentanoic acid + n-propanol Draw the neutral sp³ intermediate.
