In cotyledons, methyl esterification ranged from 25 to 40 mole% and was 31 mole% after desiccation.
This suggests that esterification reactions were likely to commonly occur in the prebiotic environment as available reactants underwent cycles of wetting and drying on early landmasses at elevated temperatures.
Site specific changes in pectin esterification may facilitate cell wall folding during desiccation.
We know today that biofuels can be produced without esterification, but engines have to be designed so that people can drive using both fuels.
Caftaric acid is formed when caffeic acid and tartaric acid undergo esterification.
Further esterification into all- trans retinyl esters allow for storage of all-trans-retinol within the pigment epithelial cells to be reused when needed.
Non-conjugated pentacene-based polymers have been synthesized via esterification of a pentacene diol monomer with bis-acid chlorides to from polymers 4ab.
Conventionally and still of commercial value is the direct esterification of terephthalic acid.
