Esters can also undergo condensation reactions called Claisen Condensations. When the reaction occurs within a diester, it forms a ring and is called a Dieckmann Condensation.

The acetate esters are comprised of an acid group (acetate) and an alcohol group which is either ethanol or a complex alcohol derived from amino acid metabolism (Saerens et al., 2008), and includes esters such as ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate.

1,3-diacetoxypropane is an acetate ester obtained by the formal condensation of the two hydroxy groups of propane-1,3-diol with acetic acid. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a diester and an acetate ester. It is functionally related to a propane-1,3-diol.

Ester enolates can be generated with LDA in THF rapidly and quantitatively. The resulting enolates can undergo carbonyl addition reactions with other esters, aldehydes, ketones or alkylation reactions with alkyl halides or tosylates.

Phorbol 13-acetate 12-myristate is a phorbol ester that is phorbol in which the hydroxy groups at the cyclopropane ring juction (position 13) and the adjacent carbon (position 12) have been converted into the corresponding acetate and myristate esters. It is a major active constituent of the seed oil of Croton tiglium.

2022年10月11日 · Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate diester is an inducer of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).

2020年9月14日 · In the Claisen condensation, an ester (2 equivalents) is treated with a base (1 equivalent); the product is a called “ beta-keto” ester, since a ketone is located two carbons away (beta) from the ester carbonyl. It forms a new C-C bond and breaks a C-O and C-H bond.
