Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...

In contrast to what was claimed in this communication that there were apparently no examples of silica-supported peroxyacids known in the literature, it has since been brought to the authors' ...

This results in the electrons jumping to a higher energy level before falling back and releasing light. The chemical reaction occurs when the hydrogen peroxide induces oxidation in the phenyl oxalate ...

To make an ester, a hydrogen atom must be removed from the hydroxyl group (–OH) of the alcohol. The –OH portion of the acid's carboxyl group must also be removed. The hydrogren atom and the ...
