The 20% m/m DTPA/K10 has shown increased activity with the increase in carbon number, at the same alcohol reflux The results are novel</p>10aAcetic acid10aEthanol10aethyl acetate10aHeteropolyacid10amontmorillonite K101 aGurav, Hanumant1 aBokade, Vijay, V.  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/synthesis-ethyl-acetate-esterification-acetic-acid-ethanol-over-heteropolyacid-0
