What is the ester formed from acetic acid and n-pentyl alcohol?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

octanol and acetic acid can be reacted together with an acid catalyst to yield octyl acetate.

Answer 3

Octyl Acetate
