1. A chemical formulation that is oil-soluble, and therefore is typically effective in penetrating waxy leaf surfaces; esters typically react poorly with "hard" water, and are generally more volatile than other formulations.
Example of a reaction that forms an ester from an acid (acyl halide) and an alcohol. Water is also extracted when an ester is formed.
