  1. triester

    In chemistry, an ester is a compound derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which at least one acidic hydrogen atom (−H) of that acid is replaced by an organyl group (−R). An example of an ester formation is the substitution reaction of a carboxylic acid (RC(=O)−O−H) and an alcohol (R'OH), forming an ester (RC(=O)−O−R'), where R and R′ denote organyl groups, or H in the case of R. Glycerides are fatty acid esters of glycerol; they are important in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids and comprising the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils. Esters can be formed from oxoacids (e.g. esters of acetic acid, carbonic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, xanthic acid), but also from acids that do not contain oxygen (e.g. esters of thiocyanic acid, trithiocarbonic acid, tricyanomethane). Esters of organic oxoacids typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. They perform as high-grade solvents for a broad array of plastics, plasticizers, resins, and lacquers, and are one of the largest classes of synthetic lubricants on the commercial market. Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties. Esters of phosphoric acid form the backbone of DNA molecules. Esters of nitric acid, such as nitroglycerin, are known for their explosive properties.
