Acetic Acid (CH₃COOH)

A compound $\mathrm{X}$ (having vinegar-like smell) when treated with ethanol in the presence of the acid, $\mathrm{Z}$ gives a compound $\mathrm{Y}$ which has a fruity smell. The reaction is ${\mathrm{C}}_2{\mathrm{H}}_5\mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{X}\stackrel{\mathrm{Z}}{\to }\mathrm{Y}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$. Identify $\mathrm{Y}$ and $\mathrm{Z}$.
