바나나 오일(아세트산이소아밀) 합성

바나나 향미를 만드는 에스테르 만들기

Organic Synthesis Advanced (University) 90 분 ~$22.00

목표

아세트산과 이소아밀알코올의 피셔 에스테르화로 아세트산이소아밀(바나나 오일)을 합성하고, 에스테르가 과일 향미를 만드는 원리를 실증한다.

배경

Isoamyl acetate is the ester responsible for the characteristic smell of bananas. It is synthesized by the acid-catalyzed reaction of isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid. This experiment demonstrates ester formation, liquid-liquid extraction, and the connection between molecular structure and sensory properties.

안전 경고

  • Concentrated H₂SO₄ is extremely corrosive
  • Glacial acetic acid causes burns
  • Isoamyl alcohol is flammable
  • Work in a fume hood throughout

실험 절차

1

Add 5 mL isoamyl alcohol and 7 mL glacial acetic acid to the round-bottom flask with boiling chips.

3 분 Fume hood required
2

Slowly add 1 mL concentrated H₂SO₄ as catalyst.

2 분 Add very slowly — exothermic
3

Attach reflux condenser and heat at gentle reflux for 60 minutes.

60 분 Ensure condenser water flows
4

Cool and transfer to a separating funnel. Add 25 mL water and shake.

3 분
5

Wash the organic layer with 25 mL of 5% NaHCO₃. Vent frequently.

5 분 CO₂ produced — vent
6

Dry the organic layer over Na₂SO₄ for 10 minutes. Filter and smell by wafting.

12 분 Waft — do not sniff directly
7

Calculate the yield and record the banana-like aroma.

5 분

예상 결과

A clear, pale yellow liquid with a strong banana aroma (isoamyl acetate). Typical yield is 50-65%. The unmistakable banana smell confirms successful ester formation.

정리

Dispose of organic waste in designated containers. Neutralize acid waste. Rinse glassware with acetone then water.
