The reaction between acetic acid and n-propanol
The phase reaction of manganese acetic acid and n-propanol is a common reaction in organic synthesis. When the two are catalyzed by acid, when they are co-heated, they begin to esterify.

Acetic acid has a carboxyl structure and is active. n-propanol contains hydroxyl groups. The two meet, the hydroxyl group is dehydrogenated, and the carboxyl group is dehydrogenated and combined with each other to form propyl acetate and water. The reaction formula is as follows: $CH_ {3} COOH + CH_ {3} CH_ {2} CH_ {2} OH\ underset {\ triangle} {\ overset {concentrated sulfuric acid} {\ rightleftharpoons}} CH_ {3} COOCH_ {2} CH_ {2} CH_ {3} + H_ {2} O $.

In this reaction, concentrated sulfuric acid is a catalytic agent, and it also has the power of absorbing water, which shifts the equilibrium to the right and increases the yield of esters. And the reaction needs to be heated to improve the molecular energy and promote the reaction to go faster.

The propyl acetate formed by the reaction has a fragrant taste, and is widely used in the fragrance, solvent and other industries. Its preparation, fine temperature control, and the amount of agent and the reverse time are essential to obtain excellent production. Therefore, the reaction of acetic acid and n-propanol is of great significance in the field of organic chemistry. It is the foundation of many industries and can produce colorful products, which is beneficial to people's livelihood.
