Abstract
Taking macroporous resin carry Ce4+ as catalyst,menthyl isovalerate is synthesized from l-menthol and isovaleric acid.The influence of various factors on esterification yields has been researched.The optimum conditions are as follow: catalyst amount 2 %(l-menthol and isovaleric acid mass),ratio of l-menthol and isovaleric acid 1∶1.6,reaction temperature 120 ℃,reaction time 6 h,the yield of menthyl isovalerate is 80 %.The catalyst can be recycled for over 5 times.
