ASA. It is an organic acid anhydride and like most acid anhydrides‚ acetic anhydride is non-polar. Organic acid anhydrides is a organic compound that has 2 acyl groups bonded to the same oxygen atom. It is produced by the carbonylation of methyl acetate. When reacting acetic anhydride with aromatic rings an acid catalyst is usually used to speed up the

aMicroscale Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product. Reagents: * Compound: | * MW (g/mol): | * MP (°C): | * BP (°C): | * Density (g/mL):

Introduction Esters are in a lot of natural products like flowers‚ spices and fruits. They are usually used in artificial flavorings. Carboxylic esters help amplify the sensory effect of esters. Isopentyl acetate is made from the direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. The direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol is an equilibrium reaction that shifts the product to the side by using the excess of one of the starting reagents. Acetic acid usually used in excess because

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

synthesize banana oil (isopentyl acetate.) Ester are often prepared by the Fischer esterification method‚ which involves heating a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst. Theory: Synthesize isopentyl acetate by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and sulfuric acid and then heating the reaction mixture under reflux for an hour. The alcohol is the limiting reactant‚ so it should be weighed/ the acids can be measured by volume. The esterification reaction is reversible

September 30‚ 2012 Experiment 5‚ Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: This experiment prepares synthetic banana oil (isopentyl acetate) through the Fisher esterification method by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic and sulfuric acid then heating the mixture under reflux for an hour. Esterification is a chemical reaction in which two reactants (an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Observations and Data: When the sulfuric acid was combined

Preparation of Fruit Flavors (Pear) Abstract. In this experiment an assigned Ester is prepared‚ particularly n-Propanol. The Preparation was done via Fischer reaction. In this reaction‚ a reflux set-up is required. The reflux set-up was used in the liquid-liquid extraction. After adding an immiscible solution to the compound containing n-Propanol‚ the mixture now will have two layer: the Organic and Aqueous layer. The organic layer is the extract needed and its % yield is computed resulting to

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using
