Ester is the condensation product of an Carboxylic acid and alcohol in organic chemistry.In condensation two molecules combine such that the eleimination of small molecule like water takes place. Or it could be said that ester are dehydration product of alcohol and carboxylic acid. Reaction could be written as : RCOOH (Carboxylic acid) + HO-R' (alcohol) â RCOOR' (Ester ) Esters can be identified by the presence of -COO- linkage in the organic compound.
Even then the reaction is an equilibrium and so does not go to completion. OOR H HOR' ROOR' H(+H) O + + For esters in which the alcohol and carboxylic acid are sterically unhindered, a 1:1 mixture of alcohol and carboxylic acid will yield an equilibrium mixture that is about 70% ester.his is also an application of Le Chatelierâs principle. Note that one product of the esterification reaction is water. A simple experimental set-up can be used to remove the water from the reaction mixture as the water, and ester, form.
