ESTERIFICATION SYNTHESIS OF PEAR OIL One of the major uses of Esterification (C(=O)-C-R) is forming compounds with different odors which can be used to make different synthetic and natural flavorings. Using the chemical and physical properties of organic compounds‚ an ester was catalyzed from the reaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ producing an odor similar to that of pear oil. The mechanism of this Fischer- Esterification process is outlined as follows:

CHEM 3305 - 001 Organic Chemistry 1 Dr Michael Findlater Spring Semester‚ 2013 Stereochemistry • Stereochemistry refers to the three-dimensional structure of a molecule. • As a consequence of stereochemistry‚ apparently minor differences in 3D structure can result in vastly different properties. • We can observe this by considering starch and cellulose‚ which are both composed of the same repeating unit. Stereochemistry of Starch and Cellulose Figure 5.2 • In cellulose
