Linked from

The 33 pages that link to Ester, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbonyl groupBroader topic: Esters are widespread carbonyl derivatives found in fats, fragrances, and polymers.

• Functional groupBroader topic: Ester groups occur in fats, fragrances, and hydrolyzable polymers.

• EsterificationBroader topic: This is the product class created by esterification.

• AmideCompared with: Esters resemble amides structurally, but oxygen replaces nitrogen beside the carbonyl.

• KetoneCompared with: Esters share a carbonyl but include a C–O bond at the carbonyl carbon.

• PolyesterBroader topic: Ester linkages connect the repeating units in polyester chains.

• Nucleophilic acyl substitutionBroader topic: Esters undergo substitution when a nucleophile displaces the attached alkoxy group.

• SaponificationNarrower topic: Ester linkages connect fatty acids to glycerol in the fats being saponified.

• EtherCompared with: An ester has a carbonyl adjacent to its oxygen linkage; an ether does not.

• TransesterificationNarrower topic: Transesterification acts on this functional group by replacing its alcohol-derived portion.

• AcetylationRelated: O-acetylation can produce an acetate ester.

• BeeswaxRelated: Beeswax contains many long-chain esters that contribute to its solid, water-repellent character.

• Ester hydrolysisNarrower topic: Its acyl–oxygen framework supplies the bond broken during ester hydrolysis.

• Ethyl acetateNarrower topic: Ethyl acetate is a small, widely used example of this compound family.

• RumBroader topic: Esters are prominent aroma compounds in many rums, especially high-ester styles.

• Fischer esterificationNarrower topic: This is the product class formed by the reaction.

• WaxesNarrower topic: Many waxes are esters formed by combining fatty acids and long-chain alcohols.

• Wine aromaRelated: Many fruity wine aromas are associated with volatile esters.

• Acyl chlorideRelated: Alcohols react with acyl chlorides to produce esters.

• Carbonyl compoundBroader topic: Esters are carbonyl compounds with an oxygen-linked substituent.

• Vinyl acetateNarrower topic: Vinyl acetate is an ester formed from acetic acid and vinyl alcohol.

• Acyl groupRelated: Esters are acyl derivatives in which oxygen occupies the position beyond the carbonyl carbon.

• BenzocaineNarrower topic: Benzocaine’s ester group distinguishes it from amide local anesthetics and affects its metabolism.

• Methyl methacrylateNarrower topic: Methyl methacrylate belongs to this functional-group family.

• Gallic acidRelated: Gallic acid forms ester bonds with sugars in hydrolysable tannins.

• Victor GrignardBroader topic: Grignard reagents can add twice to esters, usually producing tertiary alcohols after workup.

• Butyl acetateNarrower topic: Butyl acetate belongs to this compound family, whose structure gives it characteristic solvent behavior.

• Methyl salicylateNarrower topic: Methyl salicylate’s ester linkage distinguishes it from salicylic acid.

• Methyl acetateNarrower topic: Methyl acetate is a simple ester with two carbon atoms.

• Methyl formateNarrower topic: Methyl formate belongs to this functional-group family and displays characteristic ester reactions.

• Ethyl formateNarrower topic: Ethyl formate belongs to this functional-group family.

• Amyl acetateNarrower topic: Amyl acetate belongs to this compound family, whose structure gives it distinctive volatility and odor.

• TriacetinNarrower topic: Triacetin belongs to this compound family through its three ester linkages.
