- Esters are chemical compounds
consisting of a carbonyl adjacent to an ether linkage.
- They are derived by reacting an
oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound such as an alcohol or phenol.
- Esters are usually derived from an
inorganic acid or organic acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl)
group is replaced by an -O-alkyl (alkoxy) group, and most commonly
from carboxylic acids and alcohols.
- That is, esters are formed by
condensing an acid with an alcohol.
Esters are ubiquitous. Most naturally occurring fats and oils are
the fatty acid esters of glycerol.
- Esters with low molecular weight are
commonly used as fragrances and found in essential oils and
pheromones.
- Phosphoesters form the backbone of DNA
molecules. Nitrate esters, such as nitroglycerin, are known for
their explosive properties, while polyesters are important plastics,
with monomers linked by ester moieties.
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.
- This could be an alkyl group
like methyl or ethyl, or one containing a benzene ring like phenyl.
In chemistry, esters are organic compounds in which an organic group
replaces the hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group in an oxoacid.
- A molecule of an oxoacid has an -OH
(OH) group from which the hydrogen (H) can dissociate as an H+ion.
- Many esters have distinctive odors and
flavors, leading to their use as artificial flavorings and
fragrances.
The most common esters are the carboxylate esters, where the acid in
question is a carboxylic acid.
- For example, if the acid is acetic
acid, the ester is called an acetate.
- Stable esters such as carbamates,
RO(CO)NHR', and dialkyl carbonates, RO(CO)OR, can be formed from
unstable carbamic acid or carbonic acid, respectively.
- Esters may also be formed with
inorganic acids dimethyl sulfate is an ester, and sometimes called
"sulfuric acid, dimethyl ester."
- The use of phosphate ester-based
products in hydraulic applications is principally dictated by
fire-risk considerations.
