in cigarettes). Ethyl acetate is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid; it is manufactured on a large scale for use as a solvent. The combined annual production in 1985 of Japan‚ North America‚ and Europe was about 400‚000 tons.[1] In 2004‚ an estimated 1.3M tons were produced worldwide.[2] Production Ethyl acetate is synthesized in industry mainly via the classic Fischer esterification reaction of ethanol and acetic acid. This mixture converts to the ester in about 65% yield at room temperature:

What is acetylsalicylic acid? Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)‚ or more commonly known as aspirin‚ is a medication that can be used for pain‚ fevers‚ and inflammation. It can be used for long periods of time‚ in small amounts‚ to prevent heart attacks‚ strokes and the formation of blood clots. A heart attack victim can be given a low dose right after the ordeal to reduce the risk of another one. Side effects of this drug is ulcers‚ internal bleeding (stomach) and ringing in the ears. These mainly happen

determination of % ratio by GC and HNMR spectroscopy INTRODUCTION: Figure 1: Formation of ester from carboxylic acid. MECHANISM: When the carboxylic acid is treated along with the acid catalyst and alcohol[R-OH]‚ It gives rise to the formation of ester along with water. Furthermore alcohol is used in an excess amount in the reaction‚ because this reaction is probably in equilibrium. Whereas alcohol

Both aspirin and oil of wintergreen are esters. Esters are organic compounds which contain the molecular connectivity that expresses the pleasant fragrances and aromas they have‚ which can be observed in fruits and flowers. In modern times‚ the cosmetic industry has employed the use of esters in the production of self-care and vanity products such as perfumes and make-ups. This can also be noted in food and pharmaceutical industries that make use of esters in flavouring agents both in solid and liquid
