Animation of a molecule of methyl methanoate. This is the simplest ester, a molecule containing a carboxylic acid group linked to the carbon of another organic compound. Here the ester is formed from methanoic acid (formic acid) and a methyl group. Esters are formed by the reaction of the acid with an alcohol, here methanol. | |
