Catalytic synthesis of n-amyl propionate with H_4SiW_(12)O_(40)/silica gel

Yang Shui-jin

Abstract

H4SiW12O40/ silica gel was used as catalyst for the esterification of propionic acid with n-amyl alcohol.The effects of the molar ratio of alcohol to propionic acid,the amount of the catalyst,and the reaction time on synthesizing n-amyl propionate were investigated.A suitable condition for synthesizing n-amyl propionate was obtained,and under this condition,the yield of n-amyl propionate can reach 84.2%.
