Aromatic Carboxylic Acid Esters at Landmark

Carboxylic acids is a homologous series in which the compounds contain a functional group called the carboxyl group (-COOH), and they are the most common type of organic acid.  The general molecular formula for carboxylic acids is CnH2n+1COOH. Carboxylic acids contain at least one carboxyl group. Aromatic carboxylic acids contain at least one aromatic ring, examples: benzoic acid. 

A carboxylic acid ester is an ester derived from a carboxylic acid, which has the following general structural formula.


R1 = H, alkyl, aryl
R2 = alkyl, aryl


e.g.:
The O=C—O group in a carboxylic acid ester is called the carboxylic acid ester group.
Aromatic carboxylic acid esters are the most common esters in organic chemistry.  The term ester used without a qualifier usually means a carboxylic acid ester and the term ester group a carboxylic acid ester group.
