Kihara, Nobuhiro published the artcileEnhancement of Acid-Catalyzed Esterification by the Addition of Base, COA of Formula: C9H10O2, the main research area is benzoic acid alc esterification kinetics.
General acid-catalyzed reaction can be enhanced by the addition of base. Self-catalyzed esterification of benzoic acid and octan-1-ol was enhanced by the addition of certain base such as imidazole. The rate of the esterification was accelerated as the concentration of imidazole increased. Trans-esterification of 4-nitrophenyl acetate was promoted in chloroform by the mixture of benzoic acid and imidazole, but not by benzoic acid or imidazole alone.
Helvetica Chimica Acta published new progress about Esterification. 140-11-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Benzyl acetate, and the molecular formula is C9H10O2, COA of Formula: C9H10O2.
