Esters are chemical compounds derived by reacting an oxoacid with a hydroxyl compound such as an [[alcohol]] or [[phenol]]. Esters are usually derived from an inorganic acid or organic acid in which at least one -OH (hydroxyl) group is replaced by an -O-alkyl (alkoxy) group, and most commonly from carboxylic acids and alcohols. That is, esters are formed by condensing an [[acid]] with an alcohol.
