    INTRODUCTION Isopentyl acetate‚ "banana oil"‚ is a naturally occurring compound that possesses a distinctive odor. It is found in bananas‚ as well as many other organisms. This experiment attempts to produce isopentyl acetate by heating under reflux‚ which involves heating the mixture in a flask with a condenser placed vertically in the neck since any escaping vapours condense and run back into the flask‚ by combining isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and an acid catalyst. The product was isolated

    Experiment 12: Isopentyl Acetate 19 October 2012 Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to prepare isopentyl acetate by direct esterification of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol. After refluxing there is an isolation procedure where excess acetic acid and remaining isopentyl alcohol are easily removed by extraction with sodium bicarbonate and water. The ester is then purified by simple distillation and the IR is then obtained. Techniques and equipment used throughout the experiment

    Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to synthesize isopentyl acetate via an esterification reaction between glacial acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol‚ using concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The product was washed using sodium bicarbonate and water‚ then dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. It was then distilled using a standard simple distillation apparatus. The percent yield of isopentyl acetate was 60.39%. This may have been low due to incomplete distillation or evaporation once

    Chris CXXXX Organic Chemistry Lab Dr. Lyn XXXX 2 February 2012 Esterification of Isopentyl Alcohol to Isopentyl Acetate Procedure The technique for esterification that was employed in the experiment was to use a reflux apparatus (Figure 1) while heating in order to evaporate out water to drive our reaction into the product favored direction. The starting material of isopentyl alcohol (1.0 mL) and excess glacial acetic acid(1.5 mL‚ 17.6M) were eppendorf pipetted into a 5 mL conical vile. This

    Synthesis of Isopentyl Acetate Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to produce isopentyl acetate‚ banana oil. Acetic acid and isoamyl alcohol were used to synthesize isopentyl acetate. The techniques used for the separation and purification of isopentyl acetate were reflux‚ liquid-liquid extraction‚ neutralization and distillation. The identification of isopentyl acetate was based on boiling points and an infrared spectrum. This experiment resulted in a 11.68% yield. The reactants

    and it had a banana smell. Introduction Artificial flavoring is commonly used in the food that we eat today. For example‚ fruit flavoring is a chemical mixture that mimics a natural flavor as that of banana flavor from the synthesis of isoamyl acetate. Ester is the functional group‚ which is responsible for the distinctive odor and taste that artificial fruit flavoring has. Esters are derived from carboxylic acids. A carboxylic acid contains the –COOH group‚ and in an ester the hydrogen in this

    The percent yield of the isopentyl acetate was 74.3% and this low percent yield could have occurred due to some amount of gas escaping from reflux apparatus’ top or apparatus was not fully closed so that some of the heat escaped and did not proceed the reaction well‚ leaving reagents. Another source of error could be that some of the organic layer could have been transferred along with the aqueous layer when the aqueous layer was getting separated from the organic layer by a pipette. One of the

    Lab 8: Isopentyl Acetate CHM 2211L October 22‚ 2014 Abstract Many esters are naturally occurring compounds that are responsible for the fragrance of fruits and flowers. Isopentyl Acetate is the compound responsible for the smell of bananas. However‚ when Isopentyl acetate is treated with H3O+ it will hydrolyze back into the carboxylic acid‚ which will change the fragrance. In this experiment 3.11g of Isopentyl Acetate were produced with a 51.92 percent yield. Introduction Esters are carboxylic
