Chromate ester
A chromate ester is a chemical structure that contains a
chromate form, with several oxygens attached, and the Cr–O–C attachment makes this chemical group structurally similar to other ester functional groups. They can be synthesized from various chromium(VI) metal compounds, such as CrO3, chromium chloride complexes, and aqueous chromate ions, and tend to react via redox
reactions to liberate chromium(IV).
Chromate esters are the key
enone products.[1]
An example of an isolable chromate ester is
((CH3)3CO)2CrO2.[2]
