the reactants are methanol and butyric acid
The molecular formula for methyl butyrate, also known as methyl butanoate, is C5H10O2.
a strong minty smell
Methyl 2-methylbutyrate can be prepared by the esterification of 2-methylbutyric acid with methanol in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid. The reaction is usually carried out under reflux conditions and the ester is then isolated by extraction and distillation.
A typical artificial strawberry flavor, like the kind found a milk shake, contains the following ingredients:amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl valerate,anethol,anisyl formate,benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid,cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate,cognac essential oil,diacetyl,dipropyl ketone,ethyl acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl heptylate, ethyl lactate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate,ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl valerate,heliotropin,hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol),a-ionone,isobutyl anthranilate, isobutyl butyrate,lemon essential oil,maltol,4-methylacetophenone,methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate,mint essential oil,neroli essential oil,nerolin,neryl isobutyrate,orris butter,phenethyl alcohol,rose,rum ether,g-undecalactone,vanilli.
C5H10O2Because it's incorrect to say, C2.5H5O, so we multiply the subscript by 2 to get rid of the fraction.
It smells like methyl butyrate.

Methyl 2-methylbutyrate can be prepared by the esterification of 2-methylbutyric acid with methanol in the presence of a strong acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid. The reaction is usually carried out under reflux conditions and the ester is then isolated by extraction and distillation.
The structure of methyl butyrate is CH3(CH2)2COOCH3. To synthesize this ester, you need butanoic acid (CH3(CH2)2COOH) as the carboxylic acid and methanol (CH3OH) as the alcohol. The reaction between butanoic acid and methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst (such as sulfuric acid) forms methyl butyrate and water.

methyl mercaptan
Propyl ethanoate should smell like pears:)
According to Sheldon Cooper - yes, and he can smell it.
