Acetic acid when reacts with an alcohol forms an ester, CH3COOH + C2H5OH = CH3COOC2H5 + H2O
ester is formed by the reactin alcohol with an acid .with the elimination of water.
well acetic acid has the formula CH3COOH to form an ester the acetic acid will need to react with an alcohol. So for example if you have methanol CH3OH you would form an ester (esterification) and the ester would be methyl acetate. CH3COOCH3
It is the butyl ester of acetic acid so on hydrolysis it produces Acetic acid , CH3-COOH

2-butanol (sec-butanol) and acetic acid (ethanoic acid) will undergo condensation reaction. The hydroxy group on the butanol reacts with the carboxyl group on the acetic acid to form an ester, releasing water. The product is sec-butyl-ethanoate.
The -OH in acetic acid is not a very good leaving group so converting it to an ester is more complicated unlike acetic anhydride which is easier to do so.
