T. Maxim et al., BETA-HYDROXYETHYLMETHYLTEREPHTHALATE AND BIS-(BETA-HYDROXYETHYL)-TEREPHTHALATE DETERMINATION BY GAS-LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY, Revista de chimie, 46(11), 1995, pp. 1026-1028
A rapid and easy method for the separation and dosing the beta-hydroxy
ethylmethyl-terephthalate and bis(beta-hydroxyethyl-terephthalate) obt
ained as dimethyl terephthalate transesterification with ethylene glyc
ol reaction products is presented. The abovementioned compounds were s
eparated by gas-liquid chromatography polar compounds separation, with
out turning these products into low polarity derivatives. The method c
an be applied in dimethyl-terephthalate transesterification kinetics w
ith ethylene glycol.
