Fisher Esterification - Flavoring Chemicals
New here, I got back into chemistry about 2 years ago, have been manufacturing flavoring esters via. Fisher Esterification. To date: Isopentyl
propionate ("juicy fruit"), Ethyl Butyrate (pineapple), Propyl Acetate (pear flavor), Isobutyl Propionate (rum flavor), Isopentyl Acetate (banana
oil), Octyl Acetate (orange), methyl salicylicte (oil of wintergreen). Fun, developed a lot of good laboratory technique in reflux and distillation.
Looking for the next challenge: Grignard reactions? Where do I go from here? Love medium scale (50ml of product is my goal).
