Abstract
Cyclohexyl propionate was synthesized using propanoic acid and cyclohexanol as raw materials and p-toluene sulphonic acid supported on granular activated carbon as the catalyst.The influence factors of the reaction were investigated.The results indicated that the ester yield of 93.58% was attained under the optimum reaction condition as follows:n (propanoic acid):n (cyclohexanol) = 1.3:1,catalyst dosage 1.4 g,reaction time 60 min,and the dosage of cyclohexane as water carrying agent 10 mL.
