  2. List of esters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_esters

    An ester of carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).

  3. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    An ester of a carboxylic acid.R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group.. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′).

  4. Category:Esters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Esters

    In organic chemistry and biochemistry esters are the functional group (R'-COOR") consisting of an organic radical united with the residue of any oxygen acid, either organic or inorganic. An ester is a product of the reaction of an acid (usually organic) and an alcohol (the hydrogen of the acid R-COOH is replaced by an alkyl group R").

  5. List of reagents - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reagents

    an organoaluminium compound ; a reducing agent; converts esters and nitriles to aldehydes Diisopropyl azodicarboxylate: the diisopropyl ester of azodicarboxylic acid; a reagent in the production of many organic compounds Dimethyl ether: the simplest ether; a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant: Dimethylformamide

  6. Fatty acid ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ester

    The most commonly used alcohol is methanol, producing fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). When ethanol is used fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) are created. Other alcohols used for the production of biodiesel include butanol and isopropanol. Fatty acid ethyl esters are biomarkers for the consumption of ethanol (alcoholic beverages). [1] [2] [3]

  7. Fatty alcohol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_alcohol

    Most fatty alcohols in nature are found as waxes, which are esters of fatty acids and fatty alcohols. [1] They are produced by bacteria, plants and animals for purposes of buoyancy, as source of metabolic water and energy, biosonar lenses (marine mammals) and for thermal insulation in the form of waxes (in plants and insects). [3]

  8. Glyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glyceride

    Partial glycerides are esters of glycerol with fatty acids, where not all the hydroxyl groups are esterified. Since some of their hydroxyl groups are free their molecules are polar . Partial glycerides may be monoglycerides (two hydroxyl groups free) or diglycerides (one hydroxyl group free).

  9. Ammonia solution - Wikipedia

    4 and OH − do not account for a significant fraction of the total amount of ammonia except in extremely dilute solutions. [6] The concentration of such solutions is measured in units of the Baumé scale , with 26 degrees Baumé (about 30% of ammonia by weight at 15.5 °C or 59.9 °F) being the typical high-concentration commercial product.
