Study on the Synthesis of Tributyl Citrate

TU Yuan-hui

Abstract

Tributyl citrate was synthesized with citric acid and n-butyl alcohol as raw materils using p-toluene sulphonic acid supported on active carbon as catalyet.The optimum conditions of synthesis were determined: molar ratio of acid to alcoho was 1:4.1,amount of catalyst was 0.6 g,reaction time was 3h based on 0.1mol tributyl citrate,the yield of esterification is up to 96.7%.
