15.2. Oxetane
15.3. Oxolane
- Tetrahydrofuran (THF)
15.4. Oxane

16. Ester
Ester is a compound derived from an acid with the hydrogen in the hydroxyl group replaced by an organiyl group.
The stereotypical example is carboxylic ester (R−C(=O)−O−R'), often simply called 'ester'. It can be formed by substitution reaction between carboxylic acid (R−C(=O)−OH) and an alcohol (R'−OH)
The double bond between central atom and oxygen are necessary for the esterification to occur, except for extreme conditions. A double bond polarizes the molecule and lessens the activation energy by absorbing negative charge in the transition state.
17. Lactone
Cyclic ester
18. Furan
19. Pyran
The numbering is based on the location of saturated carbon.
20. Oxonium
\[ \ce{O+} \]
