eSTERS • Are chemical compounds consisting of a carbonyl adjacent to an Ether linkage. • They are derived by reacting an oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound .
are ubiquitous, they are present fats and oils, pheromones, fragrances, DNA, explosives, and plastics.
Nomenclature • Esters are one of a number of compounds known collectively as ACID DERIVATIVES.
In an ester, the hydrogen in the -COOH group is replaced by an alkyl group (or possibly some more complex hydrocarbon group).
Example 1: Methyl Propanoate Propanoic Acid
The hydrogen in the -COOH group is replaced by an alkyl group - in this case, a methyl group.
1.) • Methyl formate (C2H4O2) • Methyl methanoate • 2.) • Methyl propanoate (C4H8O2) • Methyl propionate
3.) • PropylFormate (C4H8O2) • PropylMethanoate • 4.) • Ethyl ethanoate (C4H8O2) • Ethyl acetate
Preparation of esters Alcoholysis of acyl chlorides and acid anhydides. Alcohols react with acyl chlorides and acid anhydrides to give esters: RCOCl + R'OH → RCO2R' + HCl (RCO)2O + R'OH → RCO2R' + RCO2H
Transesterification Transesterification, which involves changing one ester into another one, is widely practiced: RCO2R' + CH3OH → RCO2CH3 + R'OH
Carbonylation Alkenes undergo "hydroesterification" in the presence of metal carbonyl catalysts. Esters of propionic acid are produced commercially by this method: C2H4 + ROH + CO → C2H5CO2R
Discussion of Journal KINETIC AND MECHANISTIC STUDY OF OXIDATION OF ESTER BY K2Cr2O7 Keywords: Kinetics (Chemical) 2. Carl ‐ Zeiss spectrophotometer.
Why? We found out that the oxidation of esters occurs in two ways: Hydrolysis followed by the oxidation of alcohol, or direct oxidation of esters. What? No conclusive evidence was provided iin support of either of the two pathways.
