Esters • Carboxylic acid react with an alcohol to form an ester • The aromas and flavors of many fruits are due to esters Alcohol Carboxylic Acid Ester
Esterification • Occurs when a carboxylic acid reacts with an alcohol and is heated in the presence of an acid catalyst (usually H2SO4) • In this Reaction, water is produced from the –OH removed from the carboxylic acid and an –H lost by the alcohol
Naming Esters carboxylic acid alcohol • Determine the longest carbon chain that belongs to the alcohol (Ethyl – from ethanol) • Determine the longest carbon chain that contains the carbonyl and name it as a carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) • Change the acid ending from “-ic” to “-ate” (propanoate) • Combine the alcohol name followed by the acid name (Ethylpropanoate)
Practice Naming ethyl 3-bromo-2-chloropropanoate ethyl 2-bromopropanoate 3-methylbutyl butanoate
Properties of Esters • Esters do not have a hydroxyl (OH) group – so they can not form H-bonds • Boiling point is lower than carboxylic acids & alcohols
Acid Hydrolysis of Esters • In acid hydrolysis esters are split apart with water when heated in the presence of a strong acid (usually H2SO4 or HCl) • The products are carboxylic acid and alcohol • This is the reverse of esterification rxn
Base Hydrolysis of Esters • In base hydrolysis esters are split apart with heat in the presence of a strong base (usually NaOH or KOH) • The products are carboxylic acid salt and alcohol • This is called saponification
Base Hydrolysis of Esters • The carboxylic acid that is produced in acid hydrolysis is converted in an irreversible reaction to a carboxylate ion by the strong base
