Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

were liquid‚ oily‚ and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester

Religion‚ wasn’t just the common Sunday “get together”‚ but defined the role of an individual in society. This wasn’t an advantage for John Proctor‚ he had many of his own believes and keep to him. This led to his downfall‚ but was John Proctor innocent or were the religious expectations of the church

The goal of this experiment was to synthesize dibenzalacetone by aldol synthesis. The name ’Aldol synthesis’ was taken from the words ’aldehyde and alcohol’. This is because the product of this reaction contains both an aldehyde and alcohol. The carbon-carbon bond-forming reaction is referred to as aldol addition. An aldol condensation yields many species of products if the reactant is more than one. Therefore‚ the aldehyde has to react with itself to yield one product. Procedure: Followed according

Synthesis Paper Dawn I Gaunt Introduction to Graduate Studies 5093 3 October 2014 Social and natural sciences differ dramatically‚ but they both play very important roles. Social sciences are concentrated on the human response to the environments that we ourselves have created and the natural environment. Social science experiments‚ which are documented by human observation‚ provide no absolutes due to their methods of data collection and analysis. The observations‚ the sample groups‚ and

Abstract This experiment is about the synthesis of 3-nitrobenzaldehyde through nitration. The nitration of benzaldehyde is an example of an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction‚ in which a proton of an aromatic ring is replaced by a nitro group. Many aromatic substitution reactions are known to occur when an aromatic substrate is allowed to react with a suitable electrophilic reagent‚ and many other groups besides nitro may be introduced into the ring. Although the reaction produced a low

2013) Protease inhibitors can be used in medicine to treat different diseases and viruses which depend on protease for its mechanism of action. Protease inhibitors are most commonly used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Protease is responsible for the synthesis of new viral cells which would cause HIV to spread to uninfected cells. When the protease is introduced however‚ non-infectious vial particles are produced. The protease involved in HIV is called the HIV protease which is an aspartic protease (San

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively
