Esters and amides are derivatives of carboxylic acids. Amines are alkylated derivatives of ammonia: carboxylic acid= R-COOH

ester= R-COOR

amide=R-CONH2

amine= R-NHR

Is ch3ch2co2h a ester?

No, ch3ch2co2h (also known as ethanoic acid or acetic acid) is not an ester. It is a carboxylic acid. Ester molecules are formed by the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.


What are the products of an ester and water?

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.


What is the difference between ester and amide?

Esters are compounds formed from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, while amides are compounds formed from the reaction between a carboxylic acid and an amine. Esters have a carbonyl group bonded to an oxygen atom, while amides have a carbonyl group bonded to a nitrogen atom. Additionally, amides typically have higher boiling points and melting points compared to esters due to stronger intermolecular interactions in amides.


Is aspirin an amine or amide?

What conditions can produce hydrolysis of an ester?

Either an acidic of basic condition can produce hydrolysis of an ester. An ester is derived from an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.


From what substances can esters be prepared?

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.


What linkage does a synthetic polymer terylene have?

Terylene is a synthetic polymer that has an ester linkage in its repeating units. This ester linkage is formed between a carboxylic acid group and an alcohol group during the polymerization process.
