The odor of ripe bananas and many other fruits is due to the presence of esters. For example: Banana oil (isopentyl acetate)
(a) Write the name (common or IUPAC) of the ester responsible for the fragrance of the following: pineapple, orange, apple, peach, & lavender
(b) Choose one fragrant from (a) and name the alcohol and the carboxylic acid needed to synthesize this ester.
(c) Show the detailed mechanism of the Fischer Esterification reaction that will be involved in the synthesis of the fragrant you have chosen in part (a).
Propanal and propanone react in a similar way with acidified aqueous potassium cyanide, KCN. For this reaction to occur reasonably quickly, the pH of the solution should be approximately 4.
The reaction of propanal proceeds with acidified potassium cyanide proceeds more rapidly than that of propanone. Referring to the mechanism of the reactions, explain this phenomenon.
