Esters feature a carbon-to-oxygen double bond that is also singly bonded to a second oxygen atom, which is then joined to an alkyl or an aryl group The esters shown here are ethyl acetate (a) and methyl butyrate (b) Esters occur widely in nature
- Ester | Description, Types, Reactions | Britannica
Ester, any of a class of organic compounds that react with water to produce alcohols and organic or inorganic acids Esters derived from carboxylic acids are the most common Learn about the different types and reactions of esters and more in this article
- What Is an Ester in Chemistry? - ThoughtCo
Esters are made when the hydrogen in a carboxyl group is replaced by a hydrocarbon group Fats and oils are types of esters; their state at room temperature defines them Esters are important in making plastics, fragrances, and even in our DNA structure

Esters are organic compounds derived from acids, particularly carboxylic acids When producing esters, hydrogen is replaced by a methyl, ethyl, or phenyl hydrocarbon group In other words, esters are developed when an alcohol group bonds with a group of organic acids, which replace water molecules
- List of esters - Wikipedia
