Preparing Isopentyl Acetate by the Fischer Esterification Preparing Isopentyl Acetate by the Fischer Esterification Leah Monroe May 8‚ 2003 Organic Chemistry Lab II Experiment performed on April 29 and May 1‚ 2003 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize isopentyl acetate via an esterification reaction between acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed with sodium hydrogen carbonate‚ as well as with water

there are two esters that are very close in molar mass‚ methyl acetate and ethyl formate. The methyl acetate and the ethyl formate both have a molar mass of 74.08 g/mol [5][6]. The last step is to distinguish between the two. Both methyl acetate and ethyl formate are described as having a “fruity odour”‚ relatively close boiling points and the same colourless appearance [5][6]. However‚ there is one source that says that methyl acetate has a “characteristically pleasant smell reminiscent of some glues

Preparation of an Ester Acetylsalicylic Acid (Aspirin) OBJECTIVE: To become familiar with the techniques and principle of esterification. DISCUSSION: Aspirin is a drug widely used as an antipyretic agent (to reduce fever)‚ as an analgesic agent (to reduce pain)‚ and/or as an anti-inflammatory agent (to reduce redness‚ heat or swelling in tissues). Chemically‚ aspirin is an ester. Esters are the products of reaction of acids with alcohols‚ as shown in the following equation using

#1 (product) = 0.1573 g alcoholTheoretical yield = 0.3999 g vanillin x (154.17 g alcohol/152.15 g vanillin) = 0.4052gPercentage yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100%= 0.1573 g alcohol/ 0.4052 g alcohol = 38.8%Solvent system chosen = ethyl acetate and hexane in 9:1 ratioMelting point range of alcohol #1 = 108oC -109oCObservationWhen the NaOH was added to the aldehyde #1‚ the solution turned yellowish green. It took 10 minutes for the white solid NaBH4 to completely dissolve in the aldehyde

added to this tube. If a purple color showed‚ it would indicate there was protein in the test tube. In the third separation of this experiment‚ the hood in the lab was used. The curds were placed in a 100 mL beaker and extracted using 30 mL of ethyl acetate. The curds were crushed with a stirring rod. This extraction was then gravity filtered through a funnel fitted with the filter paper. A rubber policeman was used to scrape the beaker to get as much casein as possible. This casein was then put aside

The type and amount of solvent determines how thick a polish is and how long it takes to dry b. Most Common solvent- ethyl acetate. c. Ill talk more about what the solvent does in a few slides. d. See pic 2. Another ingredient are resins- a polymer material that holds the polish together‚ they are resistant to soap and water. a. There are two types: film forming and adhesive

On a TLC plate‚ capillary tube is used to transfer o- and p- hydroxyacetopheone‚ taking advantage of capillary force to make small spotting. A 30:70 ether acetate: petroleum ether is used as a solvent‚ which will not interact with surface of the silica gel due to a characteristic of non-polar. When they are desorbed‚ that is‚ when there is no interaction between the surface of the silica gel and the molecules
