Premium Catalysis Fatty acid Ester
Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to derive Isopentyl acetate (banana oil) from the reaction of an alcohol and a carboxylic acid in a process called Fischer esterification (Fischer-Speier esterification). The name‚ banana oil‚ is due to banana odour released by formation of Isopentyl acetate. The alcohol and the carboxylic acid used in this experiment are Isopentyl alcohol and Glacial Acetic Acid. Both the overall reaction of Fischer esterification and the specific Fischer esterification

can be oxidised to aldehyde‚ ketone or carboxylic acid. The product formed depends on the class of alcohol used. Various oxidising agents such as KMnO₄‚ Na₂Cr₂O₇ and H₂CrO₄ can be used. The reaction between alcohols and carboxylic acids will produce esters. Apparatus: Stopper‚ dropper‚ test tube‚ stopwatch‚ water bath‚ measuring cylinder (10ml) Chemical Reagents: Ethanol‚ n-Butanol‚ 2-Butanol‚ Alcohol X‚ Lucas reagent‚ 2-methyl-2-propanol‚ Concentrated H₂SO₄‚ 0.04 M Na₂Cr₂O₇‚ Glacial acetic acid

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 of the product. Reaction Scheme: Mechanism: Fischer esterification

Esterification and Hydrolysis: Methyl Benzoate by Fisher Esterification Nitration of Methyl Benzoate Jingling Li 2/16/2014 Purpose of the experiment: To understand the mechanisms for Fisher esterification reactions as an equilibrium process and hydrolysis is the reversal reaction of esterification. Nitrate methyl benzoate by an electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction. Summary of procedures: Add sulfuric acid to the mixture of benzoic and methanol‚ heat up the mixture to 65 oC

only relatively few plants and animals produce fats and oils in sufficient quantity. The most important oil‚ therefore‚ are those that can be readily attained in commercial quantities from available raw materials. Organic oils are triglycerides or esters of fatty acids. They are chemical combinations of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty acids. When processed with caustic alkalis‚ they form soaps that are salts of fatty acids and glycerol‚ which is tryhydric alcohol. Yellow bell

Simple Distillation‚ Gas Chromatography: Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction This experiment gave us the opportunity to work with a variety of new procedures as well as practice procedures that are new to us within the past few weeks of labs. Within the context of the scenario‚ we find that a distilling company that markets a popular banana liqueur is having problems. The banana plantation that they use to create their banana extract was hit hard by a hurricane and their reserves
