Catalytic synthesis of cyclohexyl acetate using zine methqne-sulfonate
This paper synthesizes cyclohexyl acetate using acetic and cyclohexanol as reactants and zine methqne-sulfonate as catalyst. The yield of the ester with different alcohol acid molar ratio, amount of catalyst, reaction time, amount of azeotrope agent is discussed, also discussed effectiveness with repeatedly using of the catalyst, and determined the optimized condition.
