Esters can be prepared through esterification, a reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, typically using a catalyst like sulfuric acid. This reaction results in the formation of an ester and water. The reaction can be refluxed to drive it to completion, and the ester can be isolated and purified by techniques like distillation or extraction.
