Esterification is the well-known equilibrium reaction of acids and alcohols to form esters, with varying means being applied to push the equilibrium to the product. This process is one of the most practiced technologies in the chemical industry. Many manufacturers routinely produce esters, some of which require difficult separation of products and raw materials.
