INTRODUCT
ION

Esters are named as derivatives of the carboxylic acid from

which they are formed. Condensation of ethanoic acid with
methanol will produce methyl ethanoate. As stated above the
ending of the acid -oic is changed to -oate, much as if
the ester were a salt of the acid.
Some chemical structures
Esterification

Esterification is the process of combining an organic acid (RCOOH) with an alcohol

(ROH) to form an ester (RCOOR) and water; or a chemical reaction resulting in the
formation of at least one ester product. Ester is obtained by an esterification reaction
of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
Uses of esters

● There are various uses of esters.1. Esters that are have fragrant odours are used as
a constituent of perfumes, essential oils, food flavourings, cosmetics, etc
● 2. Esters are used as an organic solvent
● 3. Natural esters are found in pheromones
● 4. Naturally occurring fats and oils are fatty acid esters of glycerol
● 5. Phospoesters form the backbone of DNA molecules

Some esters can be prepared by esterification, a The reaction is reversible. As a specific example of an
reaction in which a carboxylic acid and an esterification reaction, butyl acetate can be made

acid catalyst, form an ester and water:
Hydrolysis of ester

If an ester is warmed with water or any dilute acid/alkali (faster), it

changes back into the original carboxylic acid and alcohol.
This reaction is called hydrolysis or saponification i.e.
ethyl ethanoate + water ==> ethanoic acid + ethanol
whereas esterification is the opposite
ethanoic acid + ethanol ==> ethyl ethanoate + water
(more on reversible reactions and chemical equilibrium)
Soaps are made by hydrolysing
esters from naturally occurring plant oils and animal fat
Esters are usually sweet/pleasant smelling colourless liquids
and occur widely–naturally in plants.
