Answer:

Esterification reaction of Ethanoic acid

Ethanoic acid reacts with ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid as a catalyst to produce the ester, ethyl ethanoate. The reaction is slow and reversible. To reduce the chances of the reverse reaction happening, the ester is distilled off as soon as it is formed.

Alcoholysis of acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides

Alcohols react with acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides to give esters: RCOCl + R′OH → RCO2R′ + HCl. (RCO)2O + R′OH → RCO2R′ + RCO2H
