Ag. Drozdetskii et al., CATALYTIC ESTERIFICATION OF SYNTHETIC CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS OF C-7-C-9 FRACTION WITH METHANOL, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 70(9), 1997, pp. 1454-1457
A study was made of esterification of synthetic carboxylic acids of C-
7-C-9 fraction with methanol in the presence of homogeneous (H2SO4) an
d heterogeneous (KU-2-8 cation exchanger in the H+ form) catalysts. Th
e procedure of analysis of methyl and butyl esters by gas-liquid chrom
atography was developed. The possibility of fractional distillation in
a vacuum for improvement of fractional composition of methyl and buty
l esters produced by the Salavatnefteorgsintez Joint-Stock Company was
examined.
