The laboratory experiment demonstrates the acetylation of benzoin with acetic anhydride. The reaction is an example of an acylation of an alcohol to form an ester and is catalyzed with sulfuric acid. The reaction product is benzoin acetate. The video provides background on acylation chemistry, shows the experimental procedure, lists characterization data, and calculates the percent yield.
