This experiment involved the use of Fischer Esterification to create isopentyl acetate from reacting isopentyl alcohol with acetic acid and sufluric acid. 1. Provide a balanced equation to explain the evolution of gas during the sodium bicarbonate washing step. 2. The microscale synthesis of esters often uses a Dean-Stark trap. A Dean-Stark trap separates and collects water during a reaction. How would using a Dean-Stark trap during a Fisher-Esterification affect the synthesis? 3. Esters are often used in artificial flavorings....
Fischer esterification lab question, Please help. Thank you in advance 1) In the synthesis of isopentyl ethanoate, whose reaction is shown below a) what is the purpose of the sodium bicarbonate solution in the isolation step? b) what is the purpose of adding molecular sieves to the reaction? c) what is the purpose adding sulfuric acid to the reaction? d) why is acidic acid added in excess? e) what is the purpose of conducting a semi-micro distillation in the second...
Could anyone please assign the peaks for the 1HNMR of isopentyl acetate, and explain how you can use this 1HNMR spectrum to characterize the product of a reaction between acetic acid and isopentyl alcohol? Thank you so much for the help! F1 (IH) SI= 65 536 SF= 300.19 SP 6103.516 ppm]
1. The reaction mixture contains isopentyl acetate, isopentyl alcohol, water, acetic acid and sulfuric acid. a) Why is the reaction mixture extracted with sodium bicarbonate? In other words, what two substances does sodium bicarbonate react with in the reaction mixture and why are these reactions useful? (4 pts) b) Write a balanced chemical equation for each reaction involving sodium bicarbonate. c) When the reaction mixture is extracted with sodium bicarbonate solution, what substances will be in the aqueous layer?

please help:) QUESTION 35 Acid-catalyzed hydration of a 1,1-disubstituted alkene, e.g. isobutylene (2-methylpropene), will give! a. alkane b. halohydrin OC. 3° alcohol e d. 1° alcohol O e. Both a 1° alcohol and 3° alcohol QUESTION 30 To favor the product side of the equilibrium, isopentyl alcohol was the limiting reagent. Therefore, the theoretical yield of isopentyl acetate (MW 130.19 g-moll) is calculated to be if 1600. microl, of isopentyl alcohol and 3000, microL of acetic acid were used: (C5H120...

Help with synthesis of an antibiotic macrolide. Macrolides are large ring lactones (cyclic esters) which have been shown to have both anti-tumor and antibiotic activity. In the synthesis of an antibiotic macrolide, Compound A(C_8H_16O_3) was prepared. A was transformed into B(C_8H_14O_3) using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in methylene chloride. B reacts with one equivalent of vinyl Grignard reagent to yield C(C_10H_18O_3) after workup in acidic water. If excess vinyl Grignard is used, F (shown below) is formed. C, when placed in...
