Alcohol derivatives

Alcohol derivatives are organic compounds that are structurally derived from alcohols by replacing one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups with other functional groups. These derivatives encompass a wide range of compounds with diverse chemical properties and applications. One common type of alcohol derivative is ethers, where the oxygen of the alcohol group is bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups. Ethers are important solvents and intermediates in organic synthesis. Another type includes esters, formed by the reaction of an alcohol with an organic acid, contributing to the fragrance and flavor of many fruits and flowers, and widely used as solvents, plasticizers, and pharmaceuticals.
