Organic chemistry
Esters
-
Reactions: esterification, acylation, hydrolysis.
Uses: the main use is for flavourings and perfumes, but they can be used in the chemicals industry as solvents.
Conditions for reactions: they are produced when carboxylic acids are heated with alcohols in the presence of an acid catalyst.
Alcohols
Reactions: oxidation, dehydration, substitution, esterification, and reactions of alkoxides
-
Uses: they are highly flammable, making them useful as fuels. They are also used as solvents in marker pens, medicines, and cosmetics.
-
Carboxylic acids
-
Uses: they are used in the production of polymers, biopolymer
-
Conditions for reactions: the ammonium carboxylate salt is heated to a temperature above 100 degrees C
Alkenes
-
Uses: They are used in the synthesis of alcohols, plastics, lacquers, detergents, and fuels as starting materials.
Reactions: hydrogenation, halogenation, hydrohalogenation, hydration
Conditions for reactions: Room temperature and pressure, without the use of a catalyst.
