All the steps in Fischer esterification are reversible and, in general, it is a slow reaction carried out in reflux using a strong acid such as sulfuric or phosphoric acids. A simple way of detecting the smell of the ester is to pour the mixture into some water in a small beaker.Apart from the very small ones, esters are fairly insoluble in water and tend to form a thin layer on the surface.
S. T. Heller, R. Sarpong, Org. Esters are primarily prepared from the condensation of carboxylic acids with alcohols; generally, the most common method… This page describes ways of making esters in the lab from alcohols and phenols using carboxylic acids, acyl chlorides (acid chlorides) or acid anhydrides as appropriate.This method can be used for converting alcohols into esters, but it doesn't work with phenols - compounds where the -OH group is attached directly to a benzene ring. A one-pot procedure for the regioselective synthesis of aliphatic esters is described using benzoyl or p -toluoyl chloride instead of the sterically hindered Yamaguchi acid chloride. A simple synthetic procedure allows the conversion of a wide variety of carboxylic acids to ester or amide analogues in high yields.

Y.Z. Small esters are formed faster than bigger ones.To make a small ester like ethyl ethanoate, you can gently heat a mixture of ethanoic acid and ethanol in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid, and distil off the ester as soon as it is formed.This prevents the reverse reaction happening. As is well known, carboxylic esters are fundamental organic compounds in organic synthesis and have been widely used in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, such as spices, daily chemical industries, foods, medicines, rubbers, coating materials and so on [1]. Esters can be formed in a two step process where the acid chloride is first formed with SOCl2 (or oxalyl chloride) and isolated, then reacted with the alcohol (MeOH, in this case).

When dissolved in the alcohol, these strong acids produce the conjugate acid of the alcohol which then serves as the actual catalyzing acid. There is no visible change in the colourless liquids, but a mixture of ethyl ethanoate and ethanoic acid is formed.The reaction with phenol is similar, but will be slower.
Phenols react with carboxylic acids so slowly that the reaction is unusable for preparation purposes.Esters are produced when carboxylic acids are heated with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst. In these cases, it may be necessary to heat the reaction mixture under reflux for some time to produce an equilibrium mixture.

Phenyl ethanoate is formed together with hydrogen chloride gas.It isn't particularly important in the context of the current page. All the authors were involved the drafting, revision and approval of the manuscript.We declare we have no competing interests.This work was supported by the School of Chemical and Environment Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Technology. In the case of phenols, the reaction is sometimes improved by first converting the phenol into a more reactive form.If you add an acyl chloride to an alcohol, you get a vigorous (even violent) reaction at room temperature producing an ester and clouds of steamy acidic fumes of hydrogen chloride.For example, if you add the liquid ethanoyl chloride to ethanol, you get a burst of hydrogen chloride produced together with the liquid ester ethyl ethanoate.The substance normally called "phenol" is the simplest of the family of phenols.
