Abstract
The synthesis of ethyl octanoate from n-caprylic acid and ethanol absolute was catalyzed by solid super acid TiSiW12O40/TiO2.TiSiW12O40/TiO2 on the esterification of catalytic activity,a more systematic study of the alkyd ratio,catalyst amount,reaction time and the factors influencing on the yield of the reaction were discussed.It showed that the solid super acid TiSiW12O40/TiO2 was an excellent catalyst for synthetizing of ethyl octanoate,and the yield of ethyl octanoate could reach over 68.64% under molar ratio of ethyl alcohol and n-caprylic acid 1.3:1,the amount of catalyst 2.0% of total reactants,reaction time of 1.5h.
