Ester formation
Under acid-catalyzed conditions, ethanol reacts with carboxylic acids to produce ethyl esters and water:
RCOOH + HOCH2CH3 → RCOOCH2CH3 + H2O.
For this reaction to produce useful yields it is necessary to remove water from the reaction mixture as it is formed.
Ethanol can also form esters with inorganic acids. Diethyl sulfate and triethyl phosphate, prepared by reacting ethanol with sulfuric and phosphoric acid respectively, are both useful ethylating agents in organic synthesis. Ethyl nitrite, prepared from the reaction of ethanol with sodium nitrite and sulfuric acid, was formerly a widely-used diuretic.
