Summary
Details

The process industry has an uphill task of innovating new processes and technologies in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals of United Nation's Envision 2030. Adopting green processes and technologies would obviously help in accomplishing these goals. Thus, the focus is mainly on conservation of energy and the environment. The propionates, that are formed from small chain aliphatic alcohols are suitable as additives to high-speed diesel and motor spirit. This in turn reduces the consumption of fossil fuels. Further, polyesters are the only biodegradable polymers, because of which the polyesters are useful in many domestic, industrial and commercial applications.

Therefore, the use of esters as insecticides and polyesters in the production of plastics is highly encouraged because of their biodegradable nature. The esters are also found to have wide applications in organic synthesis as intermediates and as well as finished products. As intermediates, the esters are important constituents in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and fine organic chemicals. Many end products such as aspirin are also used as medicines. The esters as end products are useful as essential oils, fuel additives, medicines, and feed materials for a large number of industrial products.
