A conjugated ester has an ester carbonyl group participating in a conjugated electronic system, commonly an adjacent carbon-carbon double bond. An α,β-unsaturated ester is an important example.
Conjugation connects reactivity at the carbonyl carbon with reactivity at the more distant β carbon. Distinguishing direct carbonyl addition from conjugate addition is consequently essential when predicting products.
