Q. Propan-2-ol + ethanoic acid

$(C H_{3})_{2} C H COOC H_{3}$

$C H_{3} COOC H (C H_{3})_{2}$

$C H_{3} COOC H_{2} C H_{3}$

$(C H_{3})_{2} C H COOC H_{2} C H_{3}$

$ethanoic acid C H_{3} COO H + propan -2-ol H OC H (C H_{3})_{2}$
$H_{2} S O_{4} iso-Propyl ethanoate C H_{3} COOC H (C H_{3})_{2}$
This reaction is called esterification as ester is the final product.
