  2. 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 ′).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caproic_acid

    Caproic acid, also known as hexanoic acid, is the carboxylic acid derived from hexane with the chemical formula CH 3 (CH 2) 4 COOH.It is a colorless oily liquid with an odor that is fatty, cheesy, waxy, and like that of goats [1] or other barnyard animals.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyric_acid

    Butyric acid (/ ˈ b j uː t ɪ r ɪ k /; from Ancient Greek: βούτῡρον, meaning "butter"), also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 H.

  6. Carboxylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylic_acid

    Alternately, it can be named as a "carboxy" or "carboxylic acid" substituent on another parent structure, such as 2-carboxyfuran. The carboxylate anion ( R−COO − or R−CO − 2 ) of a carboxylic acid is usually named with the suffix -ate , in keeping with the general pattern of -ic acid and -ate for a conjugate acid and its conjugate base ...

  7. Formic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formic_acid

    Formic acid (from Latin formica 'ant'), systematically named methanoic acid, is the simplest carboxylic acid, and has the chemical formula HCOOH and structure H−C(=O)−O−H. It is an important intermediate in chemical synthesis and occurs naturally, most notably in some ants. Esters, salts and the anion derived from formic acid are called ...

  8. -oate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-oate

    For example, the sodium benzoate is an ionic compound with the structure C 6 H 5 –CO–O − Na +, and its condensed structural formula usually written as C 6 H 5 CO 2 Na. The suffix comes from "-oic acid". The most common examples of compounds named with the "oate" suffix are esters, like ethyl acetate, CH 3 COOCH 2 CH 3.

  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.
