- Nomenclature of Esters
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. Learn about the different types and reactions of esters and more in this article.
Esters can be made from carboxylic acids and alcohols. This is discussed in detail on another page, but in general terms, the two combine together losing a molecule of water in the process. We'll start with a very, very simple ester like ethyl ethanoate - not something complicated like a fat or oil!
Identify the general structure for an ester. Use common names to name esters. Name esters according to the IUPAC system. Compare the boiling points of esters with alcohols of similar molar mass. Compare the solubilities of esters in water with the solubilities of comparable alkanes and alcohols in water.
Esters can be formed from oxoacids (e.g. esters of acetic acid, carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, xanthic acid), but also from acids that do not contain oxygen (e.g. esters of thiocyanic acid and trithiocarbonic acid).
Definition: Ester. Ester molecules are organic compounds represented by the general formula R C O O R ′ and are formed by the reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids. Heating an alcohol with a carboxylic acid will produce an ester and water.
20 Σεπ 2024 · Essentially, waxes consist of a long-chain fatty acid linked through an ester oxygen to a long-chain alcohol. These molecules are completely water-insoluble and generally solid at biological temperatures.
