Ester is the condensation product of an Carboxylic acid and alcohol in organic chemistry.In condensation two molecules combine such that the eleimination of small molecule like water takes place. Or it could be said that ester are dehydration product of alcohol and carboxylic acid. Reaction could be written as : RCOOH (Carboxylic acid) + HO-R' (alcohol) â RCOOR' (Ester ) Esters can be identified by the presence of -COO- linkage in the organic compound.
Examples of Esters. Ethyl acetate (ethyl ethanoate) is an ester. The hydrogen on the carboxyl group of acetic acid is replaced with an ethyl group. Other examples of esters include ethyl propanoate, propyl methanoate, propyl ethanoate, and methyl butanoate. Glycerides are fatty acid esters of glycerol.
