Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Using A Fischer Esterification Reaction Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize Isopentyl Acetate using a Fischer esterification reaction. Fischer esterification is an acid-catalyzed condensation of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid‚ yielding an ester and water. Isopentyl Acetate has the scent of banana oil‚ once synthesized it will be purified by distillation. Then the analysis of the sample using H NMR and IR will determine purity

INTRODUCTION Isopentyl acetate‚ "banana oil"‚ is a naturally occurring compound that possesses a distinctive odor. It is found in bananas‚ as well as many other organisms. This experiment attempts to produce isopentyl acetate by heating under reflux‚ which involves heating the mixture in a flask with a condenser placed vertically in the neck since any escaping vapours condense and run back into the flask‚ by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and an acid catalyst. The product was isolated
