Carboxylic acids and alcohols can react with esters under suitable conditions. Water forms as a by-product and, under the properly selected reaction conditions, it can be continuously separated by means of a distilling trap (Dean-Stark apparatus). The progress of the reaction can be followed very clearly based on the quantity of water separated. The set-up depicted here with components from the comprehensive chemistry/biotechnology experiment set enables optimum visibility of the glass equipment and can be set up rapidly.
