Abstract

Various methods have been suggested for the preparation of ethyl acrylate.In the present study, acrylic acid was esterified using ethyl sulfate to form ethyl acrylate. Thus, a mixture of acrylic acid, ethyl sulfate, and water (1/1. 54/2, mol) mol was heated at 70°C for 2 hrs. The conversion was 88%and the yield was 75% based on the acrylic acid used.
