To determine the appropriate name for an ester compound, one must identify the parent carboxylic acid and alcohol molecules that make up the ester. The name of the ester is typically derived from the alcohol portion first, followed by the carboxylic acid portion with the ending "-ate." The naming convention follows the format: alkyl group from alcohol -yl name of carboxylic acid -ate.
