***The powers that be decided to merge my answer, below, with answers to the question about converting ethyl acetate to ethanol, the exact opposite of the original question I was answering (How do you convert ethanol to ethyl acetate?). Consequently, my answer is not the answer to the question that it was moved to. This is not my fault. Please send your complaints, suggestions for edits, etc., to Quora.***

The overall transformation is:

2 CH3CH2OH + [O] → CH3C(=O)OCH2CH3 + x H2O

The individual steps are first, oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid and this can be done with a variety of reagents such as dichromate ([O]).

CH3CH2OH + [O] → CH3C(=O)-OH + H2O

(where [O] is the oxidant and water necessarily forms).

Then, the second step is an esterification, typically catalyzed by acid:

CH3C(=O)-OH + CH3CH2OH (+ acid catalyst) → CH3C(=O)OCH2CH3 + H2O
