Abstract: 2Ethylhexyl stearate was synthesized by esterification of stearic acid with 2ethylhexanol using Brnsted acidic ionic liquid as catalyst. The conditions of the synthesis and the recycling capability of the catalyst were investigated. The results indicated that Brnsted acidic ionic liquid possessed high catalytic activity for the esterification reaction. The optimal synthesis conditions were as follows: the reaction temperaturewas at 150 ℃, the reaction time was 6 h, the molar ratio of stearic acid to 2ethylhexanol was 1∶1.4, and the molar ratio of catalyst to stearic acid was 1∶25. On this condition, the conversion rate was up to 96.9% and the acid value of the product was smaller than 0.5 mg（KOH）/g. After the reaction, the ester could be simply decanted out from the ionic liquid, and the ionic liquid could be reused after removal of water under vacuum. The activity of the catalyst remained at a high level after reuse of six cycles. 
