Abstract
This chapter deals with esters of monocarboxylic acids as well as with monoalcohols, di‐, tri‐, or polyalcohols, such as glycerol esters, resorcinol esters, and gallates. The esters of aromatic monocarboxylic acids are benzoates, salicylates, parabens, cinnamates,
p
‐aminobenzoates, and
o
‐aminobenzoates. The chemical structures and the physicochemical properties of these chemicals vary considerably. Accordingly, they are widely used in different industrial settings and consumer products. Some of these compounds occur naturally. They exhibit in general a low toxicity.
