Question

Give two examples of esters in nature, aside from those described in the introduction. Include the structures of the ester and their general purpose.

Answer 1

The list of the esters described in the introduction is not given.So if the esters I present are already there in your list please let me know.I can furnish an alternate list.

Esters are widespread in nature. They occur naturally in plants and animals. Small esters, in combination with other volatile compounds, produce the pleasant aroma of fruits. In general, a symphony of chemicals is responsible for specific fruity fragrances; however, very often one single compound plays a leading role.
