Under what conditions are you running this reaction under? Acidic or basic?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Personally, I suggest using acidic catalyst simply because it speeds up the reaction and one of your products will essentially be water.

it was in a lab we did a couple days ago and I need to know what the products of those two reactants

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I'm assuming acidic catalyst then (for time constraints). Your product should be ethyl acetate. |dw:1369792818630:dw|

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I'm not going to go over the detailed mechanism because I think you should know it by now if you're doing this in lab...
