ally, the only thing given concerning the synthesis of the product was the structure and it's respective common name. With this limited amount of information one has to come up with the reagents needed to form isopentyl acetate using the esterification process. Using basic knowledge about how esters are formed from combining a carboxylic acid and an alcohol, one can determine that isopentyl alcohol and glacial acetic acid are the reagents that would form isopentyl acetate via esterification.
             Began by combing 16 ml of isopentyl alcohol and 22
