  2. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    The major esters of acetic acid are commonly used as solvents for inks, paints and coatings. The esters include ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, and propyl acetate. They are typically produced by catalyzed reaction from acetic acid and the corresponding alcohol: CH 3 COO−H + HO−R → CH 3 COO−R + H 2 O, R = general alkyl ...

  3. Ethylic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylic

    Ethylic is an adjective for a molecule containing an ethyl group. It may refer to: Ethylic acid, also known as acetic acid; Ethylic alcohol, also known as ethanol

  4. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    C 2 H 6 O (ethanol) is converted to C 2 H 4 O (acetaldehyde), then to C 2 H 4 O 2 (acetic acid), then to acetyl-CoA. Once acetyl-CoA is formed, it is free to enter directly into the citric acid cycle (TCA) and is converted to 2 CO 2 molecules in 8 reactions. The equations: C 2 H 6 O(ethanol) + NAD + → C 2 H 4 O(acetaldehyde) + NADH + H +

    Ethanoic acid Another name for acetic acid Ethanol Also known as "ethyl alcohol". The primary alcohol in wine and most other alcoholic beverages. The alcohol content of a wine contributes to its body. Extract Everything in a wine except for water, sugar, alcohol, and acidity, the term refers to the solid compounds such as tannins.

  6. Ethyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_acetate

    Ethyl acetate (systematically ethyl ethanoate, commonly abbreviated EtOAc, ETAC or EA) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 CO 2 CH 2 CH 3, simplified to C 4 H 8 O 2.This flammable, colorless liquid has a characteristic sweet smell (similar to pear drops) and is used in glues, nail polish removers, and the decaffeination process of tea and coffee.

  7. Fischer–Speier esterification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Speier...

    Over time, the acidity of the acetic acid and tannins in an aging wine will catalytically protonate other organic acids (including acetic acid itself), encouraging ethanol to react as a nucleophile. As a result, ethyl acetate—the ester of ethanol and acetic acid—is the most abundant ester in wines. Other combinations of organic alcohols ...

  8. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol (also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, drinking alcohol, or simply alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 OH. It is an alcohol, with its formula also written as C 2 H 5 OH, C 2 H 6 O or EtOH, where Et stands for ethyl. Ethanol is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like ...

  9. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters. The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols.
