A Little Taste of Chemistry A whiff of what it’s All about

2. Did You Catch That Whiff?
Perfumes
Deodorants Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry plays a vital role in our everyday lives!!!
Candy
Beverages
Food

3. What’s that smell
Ester functional groups are widely studied in the field of organic chemistry Low molecular weight often have a pleasant smell fruit floral candy

4. Introduction
We are exploring different syntheses and extractions to create an ester.
Our main goal was to improve the protocol on creating the ester.
The protocol was meant to improve the yield of many esters through combinatorial chemistry.
This experiment will be used in the undergraduate organic chemistry lab.

5. Fischer Esterification
Fischer Esterification is the process in which an alcohol and a carboxylic acid are combined and form an ester.

6. Possible synthesis

7. Combinations we MADE!!!!!! 3 methyl-1 butonal 1 butonal 1 propanol
2 Methyl 1 propanol
3 methyl-1 butonal
1 butonal
1 propanol
Formic Acid
Propionic Acid
Phenylacetic Acid
Acetic Acid

8. Instruments These are the instruments that we used to analyze our data
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Infrared Spectrometer
Gas Chromatography

9. Procedures We used Fischer Esterification
We measured out our carboxylic acids by their mass and our alcohol by their volume
We used 2 moles of alcohol for every 1 moles of carboxylic acid
Avagadro’s number is the number used in a mole. It is the amount of how many molecules are in a mole. The number is *10(23)

10. Heating Process….
We heated our mixture for an hour

11. Washing of our product……
We washed our mixture using biocarbonate to rid the substance of the sulfuric acid and carboxylic acid

15. conclusion
We were able to create an ester using different synthesis and extractions.

16. Further Research
If water washes don't get rid of the alcohol, we might have to include distillation.
