Neither. It is an oil. An ester is produced from an organic acid and alcohol. Squalene is a natural organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though there are botanic sources as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. All higher organisms produce squalene, including humans. It is a hydrocarbon and a triterpene.
Flu vaccine contains squalene oil as an adjuvant. Squalene is not just a molecule found in a knee or elbow - it is found throughout the nervous system and the brain." When injected in the body, the immune system attacks it as an enemy to be eliminated.
For humans eating and digesting squalene isn't a problem. But injecting it "galvanize(s) the immune system into attacking it, which can produce self-destructive cross reactions against the same molecule in the places where it occurs naturally in the body - and where it is critical to the health of the nervous system." Once self-destruction begins, it doesn't stop as the body keeps making the molecule that the immune system is trained to attack and destroy. Matsumoto says "Squalene is a kind of trigger for (a) real biological weapon," what Soviet researchers called "a biological time bomb!!" He and Dr. Pam Asa conclude that "Oil adjuvants are the most insidious chemical weapon ever devised," including ones with squalene. So what American scientists conceived as a vaccine booster (or what's now being developed in labs) was another 'nano-bomb,' instigating chronic, unpredictable and debilitating disease. Using squalene in vaccines is outlandish and criminal. http://euro-med.dk/?p=9152
The ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid is benzyl acetate.
The formation of an ester from acetic acid involves a reaction with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction is called Fischer esterification and leads to the formation of an ester and water. The general reaction equation is: Acetic acid + Alcohol → Ester + Water
An esterification reaction converts an alcohol into an ester compound. This reaction involves the reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as an acid or base, to form an ester and water as byproducts.
Acid has little or no effect except possible exchange of acid groupd between ester and the introduced acid - transesterification. Base - a salt of the acid part of the ester will form and the alcohol or some substituted form of it - that depends on the base used. There is no simple answer as the acids and bases that could be used are almost limitless.
When alcohol and acid mix, esters are formed. Esters are organic compounds that are responsible for the fruity smell and flavor in many fruits and beverages. They are formed through a reaction called esterification.
An ester bond will release an acid and an alcohol when hydrolyzed. This reaction is called ester hydrolysis and breaks the ester into its constituent carboxylic acid and alcohol through the addition of water.
Transesterification is used in the production of bio-diesels and polyesters. It means interesterification. For better clarification, there is a reaction between an ester of one alcohol and a second alcohol to form an ester of the second alcohol. The alcohol from the original ester as that of methyl acetate and ethyl alcohol turn to form ethyl acetate and methyl alcohol.
The ester formed from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid is benzyl acetate.
The formation of an ester from acetic acid involves a reaction with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction is called Fischer esterification and leads to the formation of an ester and water. The general reaction equation is: Acetic acid + Alcohol → Ester + Water
It comes from analcoholit's an ester
An esterification reaction converts an alcohol into an ester compound. This reaction involves the reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as an acid or base, to form an ester and water as byproducts.
Either an acidic of basic condition can produce hydrolysis of an ester. An ester is derived from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
The salt of an alcohol and an acid is an ester.
The products of a reaction between an ester and water are an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This reaction is known as hydrolysis and involves the breaking of the ester bond, which results in the formation of the alcohol and carboxylic acid molecules.
An ester is the combination of an acid and an alcohol.
A partial ester is an ester that is not fully reacted, meaning it still contains some unreacted alcohol or acid. An ester, on the other hand, is a compound formed from the reaction between an alcohol and an acid, resulting in the loss of a water molecule.
yes, in presence of base, esters can be hydrolysed to alcohol and acid.
