Oranges taste and smell like Octyl acetate, or octyl ethanoate. It is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)7O2CCH3. It is an ester as are most fruity odours . The smell of an orange is similar to Limonene (a cyclic terpene).
Pentyl Ethanoate The structural formula looks like this: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-O-C(=O)* -CH3 *The double bonded O goes on top of the C and the last CH3 is attached to the C, not the double bonded O.
Benzoic acid and n-octyl alcohol in presence of sulphuric acid on heating form octyl benzoate and water.
This is an ESTERification reaction. CH3(CH2)6CH2OH + CH3COOH < ==H^+==> CH3COOCH2(CH2)6CH3 + H2O The products are Octyl ethanoate(acetate) and water. A little Sulphuric Acid (H^+) is used to speed up the relux reaction.
It forms Octyl Acetate.
Sodium Acetate is also known as Sodium Ethanoate.
