  2. Ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester

    An ester of a carboxylic acid. R stands for any group (typically hydrogen or organyl) and R ′ stands for any organyl group. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (R ′).

    An ester of carboxylic acid. R stands for any group (organic or inorganic) and R′ stands for organyl group. In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group (−OH) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R).

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    They have the general formula R−O−R′, where R and R′ represent the organyl groups. Ethers can again be classified into two varieties: if the organyl groups are the same on both sides of the oxygen atom, then it is a simple or symmetrical ether, whereas if they are different, the ethers are called mixed or unsymmetrical ethers.

  7. Sulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfonate

    Esters with the general formula R 1 SO 2 OR 2 are called sulfonic esters.Individual members of the category are named analogously to how ordinary carboxyl esters are named.For example, if the R 2 group is a methyl group and the R 1 group is a trifluoromethyl group, the resulting compound is methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate.

  8. Nitrate ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrate_ester

    In organic chemistry, a nitrate ester is an organic functional group with the formula R−ONO 2, where R stands for any organyl group. They are the esters of nitric acid and alcohols . A well-known example is nitroglycerin , which is not a nitro compound, despite its name.

  9. Carboxylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxylate

    In organic chemistry, a carboxylate is the conjugate base of a carboxylic acid, RCOO − (or RCO − 2). It is an anion , an ion with negative charge . Carboxylate salts are salts that have the general formula M(RCOO) n , where M is a metal and n is 1, 2,....
