How do you make isoamyl acetate?
Production. Isoamyl acetate is prepared by the acid catalyzed reaction (Fischer esterification) between isoamyl alcohol and glacial acetic acid as shown in the reaction equation below. Typically, sulfuric acid is used as the catalyst.
What would be the best way to purify your isopentyl acetate so you could isolate it pure?
A simple distillation is performed to collect the isoamyl acetate. The flask is heated in using a heating manifold. The isopentyl acetate will boil and condense and will be collected. This distillation will significantly purify the material, but not if there is alcohol or water present.
