15.5: Esters - Structures and Names - Chemistry LibreTexts
Sep 15, 2022 · Identify the general structure for an ester. Use common names to name esters. Name esters according to the IUPAC system. Esters have the general formula RCOOR ′, where R may be a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, or an aryl group, and R′ may be an alkyl group or an aryl group but not a hydrogen atom.
Ester Functional Group and Esterification - ChemTalk
What is an Ester Functional Group? In organic chemistry, esters are a common functional group. The basic structure of an ester consists of a carbon single bonded to carbon, double bonded to oxygen, and single bonded to oxygen. For the molecule below, the simple structure of an ester group is shown. Basic Ester Structure with lone electron pairs

What is the functional group of ether? Ethers are a class of organic compounds containing an ether group, an atom of oxygen bound to two classes of alkyl or aryl. They have the general R-O-R’ formula, where the alkyl or aryl groups are denoted by R and R’.
25.5 Esters – Structure, Properties and Naming
In an ester, the second oxygen atom bonds to another carbon atom (Figure 25.5a.). The names for esters include prefixes that denote the lengths of the carbon chains in the molecules and are derived following nomenclature rules similar to those for inorganic acids and salts. The functional groups for an ester are shown in red below. Figure 25.5a.

Esters are one of the more useful functional groups. Their low reactivity makes the easy to work with and they are stable enough to be used as a solvent in organic reactions (ex. ethyl …
Ester - Wikipedia
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 ′).
