Eg. Pribytkov et al., ESTERIFICATION OF VINYL-CHLORIDE MALEIC-ANHYDRIDE COPOLYMER BY ALCOHOLS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 71(2), 1998, pp. 313-316
Esterification of vinyl chloride-maleic anhydride copolymer by three a
lcohols was studied kinetically with the aim of developing sorbents fo
r cations having various sizes and various configurations of outer ele
ctron shells. Simulation of elementary stages of esterification was pe
rformed, involving tautomeric transformations of anhydride rings and r
eactions of alcohols with each of the tautomeric forms.
