selective synthesis of 2-octyl acrylate by acid-catalyzed esterification of 2-octanol and acrylic acid

摘要

"selective synthesis of 2-octyl acrylate by acid-catalyzed esterification of 2-octanol and acrylic acid" a method for producing 2-octyl acrylate, comprising reacting 2-octanol with acrylic acid in the presence of an acid catalyst and added water is described. 2-octanol can be derived from renewable resources such as castor oil. The method is efficient and provides selectivity for 2-octyl acrylate.
