The process of converting an acid into an alkyl or aryl derivative.

Esterification is the act or process of making ether; specifically, the process by which a large quantity of alcohol is transformed into ether by the agency of a small amount of sulphuric, or ethyl sulphuric, acidification and can also be accomplished by enzymatic processes
