Study Notes
Esters
- Esters are formed by the reaction of an alcohol and an acid.
- To name an ester, first name the alcohol part, replacing the "-anol" ending with "-yl" and then name the acid part, replacing the "-ic acid" ending with "-oate".
- Esters have a lower density than water.
- Esters are generally colorless.
- Esters react with ammonia or amines in the presence of a catalyst to produce amides.
Uses of Esters
- Esters are commonly used as fragrances and flavors, for example, in perfumes and foods.
- Esters are used as solvents in paints, adhesives, and other applications.
- Esters are used as starting materials in the synthesis of other molecules.
Acyl Chlorides
- Acyl chlorides are compounds derived from carboxylic acids by replacing the hydroxyl group (-OH) of the carboxyl group (-COOH) with a chlorine atom (-Cl).
- Acyl chlorides are highly reactive and commonly used to make esters and other materials, such as plastics.
Amines
- Amines can undergo alkylation, which means they can react with other chemicals to add new groups of atoms to the nitrogen atom.
- Amines react with nitrous acid in a way that depends on the type of amine present.
