Esterification involves an acid and an alcohol, while neutralization involves an acid and a base.
The esterification reaction is not an addition reaction because in this reaction substitution occurs.
It is a condensation reaction, where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule while eliminating a smaller molecule. In esterification, an alcohol and a carboxylic acid combine to form an ester and water.
