Why is h2so4 used as a catalyst in esterification?
Concentrated sulfuric acid is often used as a catalyst in Fischer esterification reactions. To my knowledge, the role it plays in the reaction is not as a reducing agent or dehydrating agent but only serves the role of creating an acidic environment, as seen in the mechanism.
