Ester - Wikipedia In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (either organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′) [1]
Ester | Description, Types, Reactions | Britannica ester, any of a class of organic compounds that react with water to produce alcohols and organic or inorganic acids Esters derived from carboxylic acids are the most common The term ester was introduced in the first half of the 19th century by German chemist Leopold Gmelin
What Is an Ester in Chemistry? - ThoughtCo An ester is an organic compound where the hydrogen in the compound's carboxyl group is replaced with a hydrocarbon group Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and (usually) alcohol
21. 6: Chemistry of Esters - Chemistry LibreTexts identify the ester, the reagents, or both, that should be used to prepare a given primary alcohol write a detailed mechanism for the reduction of an ester by lithium aluminum hydride
25. 5 Esters – Structure, Properties and Naming In an ester, the second oxygen atom bonds to another carbon atom (Figure 25 5a ) The names for esters include prefixes that denote the lengths of the carbon chains in the molecules and are derived following nomenclature rules similar to those for inorganic acids and salts
21. 6 Chemistry of Esters - Organic Chemistry | OpenStax An ester is hydrolyzed, either by aqueous base or aqueous acid, to yield a carboxylic acid plus an alcohol Ester hydrolysis in basic solution is called saponification, after the Latin word sapo, meaning “soap ” We’ll see in Section 27 2 that soap is in fact made by boiling animal fat with aqueous base to hydrolyze the ester linkages
