Procedure

A mixture containing Catalyst A (0.05 g) and oleic acid (1.41 g, 5 mmol) and ethanol (10 ml) was refluxed with stirring for 40 h. On cooling ether (30 ml) was added and the catalyst was filtered off. The organic washings were combined and concentrated to give ethyl oleate as an oil (1.39 g, 90% yield).
