In the Fischer Esterification experiment, the synthesize of
banana oil was conducted. What would the reaction
mechanism be if the reactants were Acetic Acid and Isopentyl
Alcohol to end up with Isopentyl Acetate (Banana Oil) ? Please
show arrows for mechanism. Another name for Isopentyl Alcohol
is Isoamyl alcohol and another for Isopentyl Acetate (banana
oil) is Isoamyl acetate.
