Banana Oil 9-24-10 Purpose To create Isopentyl acetate with no more than 10% isopentyl alcohol and no more than 2% acidic acid in its composition. Theory Esters are a chemical functional group that usually forms by loosing a hydroxyl group and having it replaced with an alkoxy group with the loss of hydrogen. Esters are most commonly produced by taking a carboxylic acid‚ and reacting it with an alcohol with a acid catalyst in a process known as Fischer esterfication. Esters can be used in many

INTRODUCTION: Carboxylic acids are organic acids characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group‚ -COOH. This acid acts as a weak acid‚ which can react with a strong base. Carboxylic acids form hydrogen bonds with many water molecules and are more soluble with one to four carbon atoms. Also‚ it may have an R group that consist of hydrogen or an alkyl group that changes its water solubility. Carboxylic acids with low molecular weight have odor at room temperature and higher molecular weight

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

Williamson‚ Macroscale and Microscale Organic Experiments‚ 2nd Ed. 1994‚ Houghton Mifflin‚ Boston p385 Revised 10/15/03 Prelab Exercise: Give the detailed mechanism for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyl benzoate. Introduction: The ester group is an important functional group that can be synthesized in a number of different ways. The low-molecular-weight esters have very pleasant odors and indeed are the major components

Abstract: For the first part of this lab we refluxed different Carboxylic acids and alcohols in the presence of a acid catalyst in order to form Esters by Fischer Esterification. These Esters had different pleasant smells that we then evaluated. In the second part of the experiment‚ we broke the ester bonds of a triglyceride in order to form glycerol and carboxylate salts. This process is known as Saponification because it produces amphiphilic molecules that allow soap to remove dirt from the surface

Abstract Fisher Reaction is a special type of esterification that uses an acid catalyst to reflux Carboxylic acid and Alcohol. The product Ester is in equilibrium to the reactants acid and alcohol. Ester is responsible for the smell and aroma of different fruits. After using the Fisher reaction‚ a combination of techniques is used to separate the product. Introduction Esters are naturally occurring compounds that possess a distinctive odor. It is responsible for the smell of different fruits

and a drying tube. Isopentyl alcohol‚ glacial acid sulfuric acid is added to a 25 milliliter round bottom flask and attached to the reflux apparatus. The mixture was boiled‚ the extracted first using water followed by aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was dried using anhydrous granular sodium sulfate. After dried‚ the sample was placed in a distillation apparatus and heated. This resulted in 1.8g of pure isopentyl acetate‚ a 44% yield. Introduction Isopentyl acetate is yielded by combining

that no harmful effects will occur to the consumer if take or used in flavorings of food. Exercises: 1. A.) Calculate the amount of isopentyl acetate that should be present in the reaction mixture at equilibrium‚ based on the quantities of the starting materials you used and a value of 4.2 for the equilibrium constant. B.) Estimate the mass of isopentyl acetate that was lost 1) during the distillation. Assume the ester’s solubility in aqueous NaHCO3 is about the

Section Introduction In the banana oil lab we began with isopentyl alcohol + acetic acid isopentyl acetate + Water. We needed for this experiment a hot plate‚ clamps‚ pipette‚ 5mL vial‚ caps‚ hoses and a thermometer. Upon starting‚ our group set up an open system experiment that allowed gases to be released to avoid pressure build up. We mixed together to molecules‚ 1.0mL of isopentyl alcohol‚ 1.5mL of acetic acid and added three drops of sulphuric acid. The acetic acid
