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.
In the case of ethyl acetate, R 1 is a CH 3 group and R 2 is a CH 3 CH 2 group. Naming esters systematically requires naming the functional groups on both sides of the bridging oxygen. In the example above, the right side of the ester as shown is a CH 3 CH 2 group, or ethyl group.The left side is CH 3 C=O, or acetate.The name of the ester is therefore ethyl acetate. Deriving the names of the side from the carboxylic acid merely requires replacing the suffix âic with âate. Concepts The principle concept introduced in this lesson is organic synthesis of esters.General nomenclature of esters is also introduced.he name of the ester is therefore ethyl acetate. Deriving the names of the side from the carboxylic acid merely requires replacing the suffix âic with âate. Concepts. The principle concept introduced in this lesson is organic synthesis of esters.
