Question
**Reactions of Carboxylic Acids**

- **Fisher Esterification**: This is an acid-catalyzed ester formation process from carboxylic acids and alcohols.

  Reaction: A carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol in the presence of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) to form an ester.

  Diagram: The reactants shown are a carboxylic acid and cyclohexanol, reacting to form an ester.

- **Conversion to Acyl Halides**: Carboxylic acids are converted to acyl halides using thionyl chloride (SOCl₂).

  Reaction: RCO₂H + SOCl₂ (with pyridine) → RCOCl

  Diagram: The reactants shown are acetic acid and thionyl chloride, reacting to form acyl chloride and methanol.

**Reactions of Amides**

- **Reduction of Amides**: An amide can be reduced to an amine using lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH₄) followed by hydrolysis.

  Reaction: The reactants are an amide and lithium aluminum hydride, followed by the addition of water (H₂O).

  Diagram: The structure shown is a benzamide being reduced to form an amine, but the final product is not specified.
