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.

Carboxylic Acids and Esters Available at Landmark

Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a functional group called the carboxyl group (-COOH). The general molecular formula for carboxylic acids is CnH2n+1COOH. An ester is an organic compound where the hydrogen in the carboxyl group is replaced with a hydrocarbon chain. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids and (usually) an alcohol. The chemical formula of an ester is RCO2R ′ , where R is the hydrocarbon parts of the carboxylic acid and R ′ is the introduced group. Both carboxylic acids and esters contain a carbonyl group with a second oxygen atom bonded to the carbon atom in the carbonyl group by a single bond.  In a carboxylic acid, the second oxygen atom also bonds to a hydrogen atom. In an ester, the second oxygen atom bonds to another carbon atom. The names for carboxylic acids and esters include prefixes that denote the lengths of the carbon chains in the molecules and are derived following nomenclature rules similar to those for inorganic acids and sa...

10 Questions & Answers to Learn More about Cinnamic Acid

Cinnamic acid  (CAS NO. 140-10-3) is an important substance because it is widely used in perfume, food, photographic, polymer and pharmaceutical industries, as well as for clinical and toxicological studies. Do you know anything about cinnamic acid? Here is a list of questions & answers which can help you to learn more about cinnamic acid. What is cinnamic acid? Cinnamic acid has the formula C6H5CHCHCOOH and is an odorless white crystalline acid, which is slightly soluble in water. Cinnamic acid is a polyphenol and an antioxidant. It is created by the deamination of phenylalanine and it is then itself converted to any of the various polyphenols synthesized by plants. It is sometimes called the parent polyphenol because all of the myriad polyphenol compounds synthesized by plants are derived from cinnamic acid. Thus whilst cinnamic acid is itself an antioxidant, its real importance stems from its role in the plant synthesis of the many important polyphenol ant...
