Carboxylic acids react with alcohols, in the presence of an acid catalyst, to form esters. This type of reaction is called esterification.

Carboxylic acids react with alcohols. Carboxylic acids can react with alcohols in the presence of a catalyst. They react together to form an ester.

When carboxylic acids and alcohols react together (using an acid catalyst), an ester and water are produced.

Acidified potassium dichromate(VI) (K2Cr2O7/H2SO4) is used as the oxidising agent. Primary alcohols are oxidised to aldehydes and then to carboxylic acids.
