Part II: LAB TECHNIQUE – Virtual Lab Exercise

(i). List the starting materials, catalyst, and products formed:

Starting Materials: Butanoic acid and ethanol.

Catalyst: H2SO4

Products formed: ethyl butanoate

(ii). How long did it take to finish the reaction?

Start time: 3:07

End time: 4:27

(iii). Draw a mechanism for this reaction:

FTIR: After completing the reaction and working up the products, it is still necessary to confirm that the correct product was formed. One of the most common tools used for this analysis is Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. 5. To collect an FTIR spectrum of your product, click on the FTIR spectrometer located to the right of the lab bench and drag the salt plate icon to the flask on the lab bench. A window containing the FTIR spectrum for your product should now open. Identify the relevant peaks in the FTIR spectrum and record the position and associated functional group for each in the FTIR table below (add more rows if needed). Save the FTIR spectrum to the lab book for later analysis. FT-IR Peak wavenumber (cm-?)

Does the FTIR spectrum you obtained and recorded in the table above confirm that you synthesized the assigned target compound and that the reaction went to completion?
