Gathering together the widespread literature in the field, this monograph acts as a reference guide to this very important chemical reaction. Following an introduction, the book goes on to discuss methodology, before treating synthetic and industrial applications -- the latter being a new focus in this completely revised, updated and extended second edition. A must-have for organic, natural products and catalytic chemists, as well as those working in industry, of for lecturers in chemistry.
This book provides a first comprehensive summary of acylation methods in a very practical manner. The coverage includes new developments not yet summarized in book form, and reviews spectroscopic methods, in particular FTIR- and NMR spectroscopy including two dimensional methods.
In this work, therefore, a fundamental study on the uncatalyzed esterification of different aliphatic carboxylic acids with stoichiometric amounts of ethanol was undertaken to examine the possibility of converting the biomass-derived carboxylic acids to ethyl esters and to determine the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for the uncatalyzed esterification. Experiments were conducted with isothermal batch reactors at temperatures ranging from 298 K to 623 K.A 2nd-order reversible kinetics rate expression was used to fit the experimental data. The thermodynamic and kinetic values estimated were found to vary for different esterification systems studied. The dependence of Keq on temperature f...
