Abstract
A mild and practical method (batch process) for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols using zeolite catalysts in good to exce llent yields is described. The esterification of phenylacetic acid wit h ethanol has also been carried out in very high yield using continuou s flow fixed bed reactor.
