Which functional group is there in methyl ethanoate?
Answers
Ester is there in methyl ethanoate as a functional group.
Methyl ethanoate is also known as methyl acetate.
It is a carboxylate ester.
The easiest way to identify ester is to check if carbon is bound to three other atoms or not- one with carbon, two with oxygen, and one more with oxygen.
