| The footnote also stated that Hoffmann had arranged for several chemical derivatives of salicylic acid to be examined, not just its acetyl ester. |
| In this reaction, an ester joins with another ester, a ketone, or a nitrile. |
| For example, the ester ethyl acetate is a very good solvent and is a major component in nail polish removers. |
| Geranylgeraniol is distributed as a pyrophosphate ester in the envelope and thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. |
| The ester functional group can also be split by ammonia to give amides and alcohols. |
| This type of reaction gives as its product a beta ketonic ester, ketone, or nitrile and an alcohol. |
