Zinc perchlorate hexahydrate, Zn(ClO4)2· 6 H2O, efficiently catalyses the esterification between nearly equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids and alcohols. The reaction works under solvent-free conditions at relatively low temperatures. Excellent results were obtained with a wide range of substrates.
