We are again using a very old reaction, mineral acid catalyzed Fischer Esterification, to synthesize new compounds. Last year we synthesized propyl 2-methylbenzoate, propyl 4-methylbenzoate, and propyl 4-methoxycinnamate which have not been characterized by modern spectroscopic methods. This year I replaced 4-methoxycinnamic acid with gallic acid and added 2-propanol to the list of alcohols. Isopropanol […]
