Synthesis of isoamyi propionate catalyzed by sodium hydrogen sulfate under microwave irradiation

By Using the technique of microwave radiation, under the catalyst of sodium hydrogen sulfate, isoamyl propionate can be synthesized fast, The factors of the influencing reaction were investigated.Experimental results indicative the best reacting condition was: the power of microwave is 420w;the time of microwave is 10 min;the mole ratio of acid to alcohol is 1.3: 1.0; the dose of catalyst is 0.8g (propionic acid 0.2mol), the esterification yield is 97.8%.
