Esters (R–COOR’) derive from carboxylic acids and alcohols via condensation (esterification). They have pleasant fragrances (common in fruits and perfumes) and find use as solvents or plasticizers. Hydrolysis of esters can regenerate the acid and alcohol (acidic or basic conditions). In biology, ester bonds link glycerol and fatty acids in lipids, essential for cell membrane structure and energy storage.
