Esters are formed when the carboxylic acid is heated with the alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. In this reaction, the concentrated sulphuric acid is used as a catalyst, dry form of hydrogen chloride gas is used in some cases. This method of reaction is used to convert alcohols into an ester. This reaction does not work for the compounds containing the OH- Group directly attached to the benzene ring. This method of reaction is called Esterification Reaction.
This is a reversible and a slow reaction. When the carboxylic acid is added with catalyst and an alcohol, an ester is formed along with the water. This is called as Fischer esterification.
The equation of the reaction between the alcohol ROH and the acid RCOOH (R’ and R might be the same or different) is given in above attachment ↑↑↑
