Abstract
Ethyl heptanoate was synthesized by microwave irradiation and p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst.The optimum technical conditions were as follows:molar ratio of heotanoic acid to ethyl alcohol is 1 ∶2.0,irradiation time is 5 min,microwave power 240 W,amount of catalyst is 2% and the yield is more than 89.6%.The reaction is 30 times faster under microwave irradiation than with conventional heating.
