Research on Macro-kinetics of Phase Transfer Catalytic Reaction for Benzyl Acetate

The macro-kinetics of phase transfer catalytic reaction for benzyl acetate from benzyl chloride and sodium acetate with benzyltriethylammonium chloride as catalyst was researched.In the kinetics experiments,the concentration of phase transfer catalyst benzyltriethylammonium was keep unchanged,and excess sodium acetate was used to keep constant acetate concentration by dissolution equilibrium.The kinetics experiments were carried out to obtained the reaction order of benzyl chloride at 50-60℃.The results indicated that the reaction orders for benzyl chloride was 1,and the activation energy was 36.4kJ/mol.
