PART_22 WHAT IS ESTERS?Esters are organic compounds that are derived from carboxylic acids. The carboxyl group –COOH is contained in a carboxylic acid.What is the formula of ester?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.In organic chemistry, esters are a common functional group. The basic structure of an ester consists of a carbon single bonded to carbon, double bonded to oxygen, and single bonded to oxygen.What are some examples of ester?Names of EstersCommon Name IUPAC Namemethyl acetate methyl ethanoateethyl acetate ethyl ethanoateethyl propionate ethyl propanoateisopropyl butyrate isopropyl butanoateWhy are esters important?Esterification represents one of the most essential reactions in both organic synthesis and the chemical industry. Esters are used as important building blocks for the synthesis of bulk and commodity chemicals having wide applications in pharmaceuticals, polymers, solvents, fragrances, etc.Well! Thanks for all!
