monoesterissä
Monoesters are organic compounds in which a single ester functional group is present in the molecular structure. The general formula for a monoester is RCOOR′, where R is a hydrocarbon group derived from an acid, and R′ is a hydrocarbon group derived from an alcohol. Because only one ester linkage exists, monoesters exhibit specific reactivity patterns that differ from di- or polyesters.
The classification of monoesters often depends on the nature of the acid and alcohol components. For example,
In industrial chemistry, monoesters are valued for their roles as solvents, flavor and fragrance precursors, and
Thermodynamic stability of monoesters is influenced by the electron‑donating or withdrawing nature of substituents attached to
