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
12. 8: Esters - Chemistry LibreTexts Esters tend to have pleasant odors and are very commonly found in plants – they are responsible for many distinct odors and flavors For example, methyl salicylate has the odor and flavor of oil of wintergreen, while propyl ethanoate has that of a pear (see Figure 12 8 1 12 8 1)
25. 5 Esters – Structure, Properties and Naming Esters contain a carbonyl group with a second oxygen atom bonded to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group by a single bond In an ester, the second oxygen atom bonds to another carbon atom (Figure 25 5a )
What is Ester? - BYJUS An ester is a chemical compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which at least one –OH hydroxyl group is replaced by an –O– alkyl (alkoxy) group To put it in simple terms, esters are a group of chemical compounds which are formed by bonding of an alcohol group with a group of organic acids, by losing water molecules
What Is an Ester in Chemistry? - ThoughtCo Esters are made when the hydrogen in a carboxyl group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group Fats and oils are types of esters; their state at room temperature defines them Esters are important in making plastics, fragrances, and even in our DNA structure
an introduction to esters - chemguide It includes an introduction to more complicated naturally-occurring esters like animal and vegetable fats and oils What are esters? Esters are derived from carboxylic acids A carboxylic acid contains the -COOH group, and in an ester the hydrogen in this group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group of some kind
15. 6 Esters: Structures and Names - Lumen Learning Identify the general structure for an ester Use common names to name esters Name esters according to the IUPAC system Esters have the general formula RCOOR′, where R may be a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, and R′ may be an alkyl group or an aryl group but not a hydrogen atom
