Given three acids The order of ease of acid catalysed esterification

1.	Given three acids The order of ease of acid catalysed esterification is
Answer» `I gt III gt II` `I gt II gt III` `III gt I gt II` `II gt III gt I` Solution :LARGER the number of electron releasing alkyl groups at `ALPHA-`CARBON, less the susceptibility of the acid to the NUCLEOPHILIC attack of alcohol. Thus the order of esterification is `I gt II gt III`
