Just about any carbonyl compound can be forced into an ester, but the most common way of synthesizing an ester is treatment of an acyl chloride (or acid anhydride) with an alcohol. A catalyst is not needed as these compounds are reactive enough on their own.
Such compounds are mostly esters.
Esters are neutral compounds
Turkey Red Oil is an ester. Perhaps this question has mutated from its original form? It's prepared by reacting castor oil with sulfuric acid and is more descriptively, if less colorfully, known as sulfonated castor oil. It's probably miscible with most low molecular weight esters.
Esters do not react with sodium carbonate under normal conditions because esters are relatively stable compounds and do not readily undergo chemical reactions with mild bases like sodium carbonate. If a reaction were to occur, it would likely require more drastic conditions or a catalyst.
Fats are esters of fatty acids and glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol).
esters are usually prepared industrially by reaction of corresponding carboxylic acid and alcohol.

Such compounds are mostly esters.
Natural Substances are those which are prepared from herbs and minerals, not from chemical or synthetic sources.
Esters are flavorings. They are also used with perfumes.
Esters are compounds that form when organic acids react with alcohols.
Esters are neutral compounds
Esters lack hydrogen atoms attached directly to highly electronegative atoms like oxygen or nitrogen, which are necessary for forming hydrogen bonds. In esters, the hydrogen atoms are bonded to carbon atoms, making them unable to participate in hydrogen bonding with other esters.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Yes, sodium borohydride can reduce esters to alcohols.
Natural esters are derived from natural sources such as plants and animals, while synthetic esters are man-made through chemical processes. Natural esters tend to be more environmentally friendly and biodegradable compared to synthetic esters, which may offer more consistent performance and tailored properties.
Esters are aromatic, you would smell them - the smell of pineapple is an ester.
