esteriyhdistelmät
Esteriyhdistelmät, or ester combinations, refer to chemical compounds formed when two or more distinct ester functional groups are present within a single molecule. An ester is characterized by a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to an alkyl or aryl group and an oxygen atom, which is in turn bonded to another alkyl or aryl group. The general formula for an ester is R-COO-R', where R and R' represent hydrocarbon groups. In an esteriyhdistelmä, a molecule will contain multiple such -COO- linkages.
These compounds can arise from a variety of reactions. For instance, a diol (a molecule with two
