新型Lewis酸铁钾矾催化合成己酸乙酯

摘要

新型Lewis酸铁钾矾催化己酸和乙醇合成反应生成己酸乙酯,其性能优于硫酸,并且是一种绿色催化剂.研究了催化剂的用量、酸醇摩尔比、反应时间对酯化反应的影响.实验结果表明,较佳的反应条件为：催化剂用量1.0 g/0.05 mol己酸,酸醇物质的量比为1∶2.4,反应时间为100 min,此条件下己酸转化率为94.3%.%Ethyl caproate was synthesized from hexanoic acid and ethyl alcohol with new Lewis acid ferric potassium alum as catalyst.The factors of influencing esterification rate were investigated.The results showed that ferric potassium alum was a good green catalyst for synthesis of ethyl caproate.The optimum conditions were：molar ratio of hexanoic acid to ethyl alcohol was 1∶ 2.4,amount of catalyst was 1.0 g /0.05 mol hexanoic acid,the water-carrying toluene was 10 mL,and the reaction time was 100 min.The highest esterification rate was 94.3%,and the catalyst can be recycled for many times.
