metüülesterid
Metüülesterid are organic compounds that are esters derived from methanol. They have the general formula RCOOCH3, where R is an alkyl or aryl group. These compounds are formed through the esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and methanol, typically catalyzed by a strong acid.
A common method for their synthesis is the Fischer esterification, where a carboxylic acid reacts with excess
Metüülesterid are widely used in various industries. They serve as important intermediates in the synthesis of
In the context of biofuels, methyl esters of fatty acids, often referred to as FAME (Fatty Acid
