The reactions between aliphatic acids and alcohols in the gas phase were investigated by chemical ionization (CL) mass spectrometry. The association of the acylium ion of acids with alcohols is suggested as an esterificaion mechanism under CI conditions in addition to the classical nucleophilic addition—elimination pathway.
