Esters are sweet smelling compounds.                                         

They are formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of conc. sulphuric acid.    

For example, ethyl ethanoate is prepared by reacting ethanoic acid and ethanol in the presence of conc.sulphuric acid.    

C2H5OH + CH3COOH   → CH3COOC2H5 +H2O                    

 

Esters are the sweet smelling substance formed by esterification of ethanoic acid and ethanol
