Abstract

C. Ravichandran

Chemical synthesis is purposeful execution of chemical reactions in order to obtain a product, or several products. It begins by selection of compounds that are known as reagents or reactants. Organic chemistry is a specific discipline within chemistry, which involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions and preparation by synthesis of chemical compounds. In view of the demand and utilization, 2-pentyloxy allyl ester (Allyl Amyl Glycolate - AAG) has been identified for the present investigation and synthesis. During the synthesis, the effect of various components namely reactants, temperature, catalyst etc were studied. Tentatively, the optimum operating parameters have been arrived at.
