Abstract
Objective To study the catalytic activity of potassium bisulfate in synthesizing hexyl hexanoate.Methods Hexanoic acid and n-hexanol reacted to form hexyl hexanoate by using potassium bisulfate as the catalyst.The investigated effects conclueded amount of the catalyst,reaction time,molar ratio of alcohol to acid and repeated uses.Results Experimental results showed that the catalyst was high activity and could be used repeatedly.Under the best conditions its yield could reach 99.4%.Conclusion Potassium bisulfate is an excellent catalyst for synthesis of hexyl hexanoate.
