\nMethyl butanoate is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. The name “butanoate” indicates that it is derived from butanoic acid, and “methyl” indicates the alkyl group attached to the oxygen atom (R’ in R-COO-R’). The structure of methyl butanoate is CH\u2083CH\u2082CH\u2082COO-CH\u2083. The characteristic functional group present in esters is the ester group (-COO-).
\n<\/section>\n
\nMethyl butanoate is an ester, identified by the presence of the -COO- functional group derived from a carboxylic acid and an alcohol.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEthers have the functional group R-O-R’. Carboxylic acids have the functional group -COOH. Ketones have the functional group R-CO-R’, where the carbonyl group is located within the carbon chain.
