In the synthesis of pentyl pentanoate using a Fischer esterification, if there is a contamination of your ester with some residual alcohol, how will this affect the refractive index of your ester? Explain your answer using literature values (properly referenced).
Homework Answers
Refractive index of pentyl pentanoate is 1.423 (Ref: http://www.chemspider.com/Chemical-Structure.56216.html )
Refractive index of pentanol is 1.4103 (Ref: https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/1-Pentanol#section=Odor-Threshold )
Since the refractive index of alcohol, pentanol is smaller than that of the ester, presence of some residual alcohol will decrease the refractive index.

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....

This is a Fischer Esterification using the alcohol, methanol,
and the carboxylic acid, butyric acid, to create the ester, methyl
butanoate (smells like apple). After refluxing methanol, butyric
acid, and concentrated sulfuric acid, a separatory flask was used
and the ester was extracted using ice water, then diethyl ether,
then 2 portions of sodium carbonate, and a saturated sodium
chloride brine solution. Anyhydrous sodium sulfate was used after
separation to dry the ester. Please help!!

In this experiment, we did a Fischer Esterification using excess acetic acid, isopentyl alcohol, and sulfuric acid to form isopentyl acetate. Then sodium bicarbonate and NaCl were used in the extraction step of the experiment. Is there another method we could have used to calculate percent yield other than using the amount of isopentyl acetate? What are the advantages and disadvantages? (Using GC is not the answer we are looking for.)

Ester Synthesis In today's lab, you will perform small scale Fischer esterifications to make a variety of esters. H2SO4 R OH + R'OH = ROR' Combinatorial chemistry is a term used to describe small scale reactions, where in a large number of different molecules can be made using the same reaction conditions, by varying the reactants. In the case of Fischer esterifications, one can vary the carboxylic acid and keep the alcohol constant or keep the carboxylic acid constant and...
