This functional group is produced in a condensation reaction which sees the addition of an alcohol in the presence of a catalytic amount of a strong acid which is sometimes named for Speier. This type of compound is broken down by water in a reaction catalyzed by bases, the saponification reaction, and three of them are found on a glycerol backbone in fats. Consisting of a two R groups bonded to a carbon double bonded to an oxygen and single bonded to another oxygen, for
