Catalytic synthesis of cyclohexyl formate with aminosulfonic acid

Aminosulfonic acid is used as the catalyst for preparing cyclohexyl formate.The factors that affect on reaction were studied.The optimal condition as follows: molar ratio of cyclohexanol to formic acid was 1∶2,reaction time of reflux was 1.0 h,mass of catalyst was 5.3% of cyclohexanol.The yield of esterification may reach 80.7% in the condition.
