Esters are sweet smelling substance.( fruit smell) with low molecular mass.
or, Esters are the chemical compound that is derived from an organic and inorganic acid in which at least hydroxyl (-OH) group is replaced by an alkyl group (- O-) group.
They are formed when ethanol reacts with ethanoic acid.
In the process of acid as catalyst.
This reaction resulting is in the formation of ester is known as '' Esterification.
Ethanoic acid-> CH3COOOH
Ethanol-> CH3CH2OH
Ethyl acitate (ester)-> CH3COOC2H5
Uses:-
: Uses in perfurmes
:Used as flavoring agent
