Did You Catch That Whiff? Perfumes Deodorants Fragrance and Flavor Chemistry plays a vital role in our everyday lives!!! Candy Beverages Food
Ester functional groups are widely studied in the field of organic chemistry Low molecular weight often have a pleasant smell fruit floral candy What’s that smell
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. Introduction
Fischer Esterification is the process in which an alcohol and a carboxylic acid are combined and form an ester. Fischer Esterification
Combinations we MADE!!!!!! 2 Methyl 1 propanol 3 methyl-1 butonal 1 butonal 1 propanol Formic Acid Propionic Acid Phenylacetic Acid Acetic Acid
Instruments These are the instruments that we used to analyze our data Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Infrared Spectrometer Gas Chromatography
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 6.022142*10(23) Procedures
Heating Process…. We heated our mixture for an hour
Washing of our product…… We washed our mixture using biocarbonate to rid the substance of the sulfuric acid and carboxylic acid

Gas Chromatography ESTER Tropical Ester- Raspberry Austin’s Jamil’s
conclusion We were able to create an ester using different synthesis and extractions.
Further Research If water washes don't get rid of the alcohol, we might have to include distillation.
