A convenient and clean procedure for esterification is reported. Direct condensation of formylphenoxyaliphatic acids with low to high boiling alcohols catalysed by potash alum gave moderate to good yields. This catalyst could be recovered and reused without substantial loss in its catalytic activity and the methodology could be used for a range of closely related substrates.
