take carboxylic acid and mix it with alcohol. you will get an ester.

For example,

CH3COOH + C2H5OH --> C2H5COOCH3 + H2O

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. The catalyst is usually concentrated sulphuric acid.
