In this experiment, the fundamental objective was to synthesize an ester by utilizing the Fischer esterification technique. This method included by using acetic acid and an unknown alcohol #110 as the reactants. Afterward, the reaction was processed, and the product was isolated and purified respectively by isolation and distillation. Then, IR spectroscopy was characterized the product, which demonstrated prominent peaks at 1737.54 cm-1, 1381. 54 cm-1, 1228.27 cm-1, and 1035.48 cm-1. Additionally, 1H NMR spectroscopy was gathered, which offered four different signals at 0.68 ppm, 1.45 ppm, 1.91 ppm, and 3.58 ppm. Finally, 13C NMR spectrum was obtained and showed six different signals respectively at 19.242 ppm, 21.134 ppm, 27.826 ppm, 70.855
