SYNTHESIS OF ESTERS USING GREEN AND NON-GREEN CHEMISTRY Abstract Esters are a class of organic compounds with the general formula RCOOR’. Ester also contributes the flavor and aromas in fruits and flowers. The esterification reactions will use in the procedure‚ which are the interaction of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol‚ aided by an inorganic acid catalyst (H2SO4). Moreover‚ the green method will not use any catalyst but using heating source instead (microwave). Based on the comparison of

The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl ester by an esterification reaction between a carboxylic acid and an ester. Carboxylic esters‚ like isopentyl acetate‚ are normally used to create artificial flavors. In the preparation of isopentyl acetate‚ esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol occurs. Esterification is an equilibrium shift to the product side using an excess of one of the starting components. In this experiment‚ the excess reagent is acetic acid because it

Introduction Esters are in a lot of natural products like flowers‚ spices and fruits. They are usually used in artificial flavorings. Carboxylic esters help amplify the sensory effect of esters. Isopentyl acetate is made from the direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol. The direct esterification of acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol is an equilibrium reaction that shifts the product to the side by using the excess of one of the starting reagents. Acetic acid usually used in excess

After the purification‚ the ester yield synthesised is only 67%-70% and a maximum 70% yield of ester usually is not considered to be acceptable for a synthesis reaction‚ instead it is considering as a poor yield of ester. The synthesised ester can only have a maximum yield of 70% because for ester in which the carboxylic acid and alcohol are sterically unhindered‚ a same ratio mixture of carboxylic acid and alcohol can only synthesis ester with a maximum yield of 70% ester as the reaction with the same

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

Introduction: In this experiment‚ when vinyl strip and acetate strip is rubbed by tissue‚ it will charge the vinyl strip negatively and acetate strip positively caused by the transfer of electron between the strip and tissue. If molecules have non zero bond dipole‚ because polar molecule must have a non-zero molecular dipole where electron spend more of their time closer to one atomic nucleus than the other and make one end partially positive or negative than the other end. Different charge will

Preparation of N‚N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and its Identification by IR and NMR Spectroscopy Eim A. Chemist CHEM 304 July 10‚ 2005 INTRODUCTION N‚N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is the active ingredient in many insect repellants.1 In this experiment‚ DEET will be prepared from m-toluic acid through the intermediate acid chloride and then identified by its IR and proton NMR spectra. The overall reaction is a series of two acyl substitutions and is shown in Scheme 1 below: [pic] Scheme
