Abstract

Synthesis of Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) from esterification of fumaric acid with methanol catalyzed by strong acidic ion exchange resin employing reaction distillation technology is proposed in this paper. Effect of reaction conditions on the yield of DMF was investigated by experiments arranged by orthogonal design. Optimum reaction conditions were obtained as follows: reaction temperature: 353 K; catalyst input: 6% of the total weight of reactants ; reaction time:9 hours; molar ratio of alcohol to acid: 6∶1. Under these conditions, yield of DMF reached 92%. Experiment of repeated use of the catalyst was conducted. The results show that this catalyst possesses high activity and good stability for DMF synthesis.
