The reaction between methacrylic acid and methanol results in the ester methyl methacrylate. It is the ethyl ester of propionic acid. It is the methyl ester of salicylic acid. Cellulose acetate is the acetate ester of cellulose. It is the ethyl ester of acrylic acid. It is a cyclic carbonate ester derived from propylene glycol. Hydrolysis of the methyl ester and decarboxylation leads to norfluorocurarine. EDC couples primary amines to carboxylic acids by creating an activated ester leaving group. Prostacyclin can be synthesized from the methyl ester of prostaglandin F. Biodegradable polymers tend to consist of ester, amide, or ether bonds. Palm oil is used to produce both methyl ester and hydrodeoxygenated biodiesel. Vinyl acetate is the acetate ester of vinyl alcohol. Another example of its use is in the synthesis of leukotriene A methyl ester. These plasticizers are used similarly to those derived from terephthalic acid ester. It is structurally similar to cocaine, which is the methyl ester of benzoylecgonine.
