Did you ever take a swig of aspartame-sweetened diet soda and have it taste nasty? Sour, metallic, and vile, but not sweet.

Hydroxyl-Directed Acyl Transfer Catalysis: Our research on acyl transfer catalysis began with an interest in rendering ester hydrolysis hydroxyl-directed, and thereby enable the selective hydrolysis ...

Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...

To make an ester, a hydrogen atom must be removed from the hydroxyl group (–OH) of the alcohol. The –OH portion of the acid's carboxyl group must also be removed. The hydrogren atom and the ...
