  2. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    [4] [6] Alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase are present at their highest concentrations (in liver mitochondria). [98] [107] But these enzymes are widely expressed throughout the body, such as in the stomach and small intestine. [2] Some alcohol undergoes a first pass of metabolism in these areas, before it ever enters the ...

  3. Transesterification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transesterification

    Strong acids catalyze the reaction by donating a proton to the carbonyl group, thus making it a more potent electrophile. Bases catalyze the reaction by removing a proton from the alcohol, thus making it more nucleophilic. The reaction can also be accomplished with the help of enzymes, particularly lipases (one example is the lipase E.C.3.1.1.3 ...

  4. Nitrate ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_ester

    In organic chemistry, a nitrate ester is an organic functional group with the formula R−ONO 2, where R stands for any organyl group. They are the esters of nitric acid and alcohols . A well-known example is nitroglycerin , which is not a nitro compound, despite its name.

  5. Acetoacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetoacetic_acid

    Acetoacetic esters are used for the acetoacetylation reaction, which is widely used in the production of arylide yellows and diarylide dyes. [3] Although the esters can be used in this reaction, diketene also reacts with alcohols and amines to the corresponding acetoacetic acid derivatives in a process called acetoacetylation.

  6. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials, and often have a pleasant characteristic, fruity odor. This leads to their extensive use in the fragrance and flavor industry.

  7. 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).

  8. A new study says drinking alcohol raises heart disease risk ...

    www.aol.com/lifestyle/study-says-drinking...

    Men who had high alcohol intake (defined as 15 or more drinks per week) were 33% more likely to develop heart disease compared with men who had moderate intake, or three to 14 drinks a week.

  9. Esterase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esterase

    In biochemistry, an esterase is a class of enzyme that splits esters into an acid and an alcohol in a chemical reaction with water called hydrolysis (and as such, it is a type of hydrolase). A wide range of different esterases exist that differ in their substrate specificity, their protein structure, and their biological function.
