1) 3-methyl-butanol (alkanol) react with ethanoic acid (carboxylic acid)
2) mthanol react with salicylic acid
thank you!!!

IUPAC is sometimes not consistant with some of this naming - ethanoic acid is refered to in the lab as acetic acid.
Remember: the first word is the part of the ester that is attached to one oxygen in a single bond, which comes from the alcohol, and then named a branch (ending in -yl). The other part of the ester comes from the carboxylic acid.
1) 3-methyl-1-butyl acetate (IUPAC calles is Isoamyl acetate). It smells like banana or pear
2) methyl salicylate. It smells like spearmint or rootbear.

1. CH3 - CH2 - CH (CH3) - CH2 OH + CH3COOH ---> CH3 CH2 CH (CH3) - CH2 - COO - CH3
methyl iso pentanoate
2. methanol + salicylic acid ---> methyl salicylate is the ester formed i.e, CH3OH + phenol with a COOH group -----> phenyl with a COOCH3 attached to it.
