Isopropyl Acetate
I read a wikipedia article on isopropyl Acetate, which stated acetic acid and isopropyl acetate would react w/ sulfuric acid catalyst. I used sodium
bisulfate, sould this've worked?
Side note, has anyone made isopropyl amide? It has a flash point in the negative 30sCelcius 
One final Q, does any reaction occur between ammonia and acetic acid?
Thanks!
Nathan

At least in the current edit of the wiki article, there is no mention of sulfuric acid. Nevertheless, sulfuric acid will indeed hydrolyze isopropyl acetate.
With respect to the use of bisulfate, see doi:10.1080/00397919908085911, among other refs.

"isopropyl amide" isn't quite sensible nomenclature. If you meant isopropylamine, then using the fabulous search engine
should have netted you with this thread.

Lessee, you have an acid, and a base...

Lol, totally missed that last one  Sorry...
For the middle one, the search engine turneed up nothing b/c I used the wrong name. For the first, I used the fr version, a graphic shoiws the
sulfuric acid as catalyst. I shouuld prob. know what a doi number is, but I don't, what are they?
