    Purpose of this experiment is to synthesis Banana oil by mixture of the isopentyl alcohol and acetic acid . Banana oil smells like fruit mostly it smells like banana. This reasons that this compound uses in different perfume products as well as the gums for the flavor. The reaction that takes place in this experiment is a esterification. In this experiment‚ the carboxyl group of the acetic acid joins with the hydroxyl group of the isopently alcohol‚ catalyzed by the presence of sulfuric acid

    aMicroscale Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) Objective: Carried out the microscale synthesis of isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. This was an acid catalyzed Fischer esterification. Both extraction and distillation were employed to obtain a pure product. IR spectroscopy and gas chromatography were used to determine purity of the final product. Reagents: * Compound: | * MW (g/mol): | * MP (°C): | * BP (°C): | * Density (g/mL):

    RUNNING HEAD: Synthesis of Banana Oil Abstract A reflux apparatus was assembled with a water-cooled condenser 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

    Subject: Preparation of Synthetic Banana oil Summary: Banana Oil is a major flavoring in many different mixtures from candles to different types of food. The major organic chemical that is banana oil is ester‚ which is what gives it its strong odor. In this scenario‚ the banana oil supply is running low for Cavendish Distilling Company. So they want to formulate a synthetic version of banana oil to replenish their supply. Problem: Will the synthetic version of banana oil‚ is similar in taste and chemicals

    Preparation of Synthetic Banana Oil Introduction: In this lab the synthesis‚ purification‚ and characterization of isoamyl acetate‚ or banana oil‚ was determined. The synthesis was completed by a reversible esterification reaction which required the heating of glacial acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol‚ combined with a sulfuric acid catalyst in hexane. In order to increase the efficiency of the reaction‚ LeChatelier’s Principle is utilized by removing water from the products. As a result‚ the reaction

    Banana Oil Lab Report Jesse Bradford 7/10/14 MTWR 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
