Esters and Derivatives

Esters are organic compounds formed by the reaction of an acid (usually a carboxylic acid) with an alcohol, releasing water in the process. Their chemical structure includes a functional -COO- group, where a carbon atom is bonded to an oxygen group and an alkyl or aryl group. Esters have a wide range of applications in industry, including solvents, fragrances, flavours, and pharmaceuticals. In pharmacology, some esters are used as prodrugs, as their structure allows for controlled release or increased bioavailability of active ingredients. At CymitQuimica, we offer esters and their derivatives for research in organic chemistry, drug formulation, and industrial applications.
