Study on the Catalysis of Synthesis of Isoamyl Hexanoate

use of sodium hydrogen sulphate as catalyst on the esterification reaction of isoamyl hexanoate was studied The suitable conditions have been found The optimum condition are selected as following :The weight of catalyst is 0 2*!g/0 1*!mol hexanoic acid ,the mole ratio of alchol to acid is 1 5∶1 and the reaction time is 1 5*!h The esterification of hexanoic acid is about 99 39% Experimental results showed that sodium hydrogen sulphate is a good catalyst of this esterification reaction ,with high catalytic activity,the used little amount,the good esterification , little waste discarged and low price It is very valuable in practice
