Liquid-liquid biphasic synthesis of long chain wax esters using the Lewis acidic ionic liquid choline chloride·2ZnCl2

The first liquid-liquid biphasic synthesis of wax esters in a Lewis acidic ionic liquid, choline chloride·2ZnCl2 by the esterification of long chain carboxylic acids with long chain alcohols is described. The reported reaction system has the advantages of both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis with high product yield and the ease of product as well as catalyst separation without the use of an organic solvent. The ionic liquid studied plays the dual role of solvent as well as catalyst and is recycled up to six times without any significant loss of activity.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBOXYLIC ACID ESTER AND ESTERIFICATION CATALYST

A process for carboxylic acid ester production by which a carboxylic acid ester comprising an alcohol and a carboxylic acid each having 10 or more carbon atoms can be produced in a high yield. The catalyst used can be reused. The process generates a small amount of wastes and is less apt to pose an environmental problem. Also provided is an esterification catalyst usable in the process. In the esterification of a C10 or higher carboxylic acid and a C10 or higher alcohol, use is made, as a catalyst, of a hydrate of a salt of at least one metal selected among aluminum, gallium, indium, iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc, zirconium, hafnium, and niobium.

Efficient esterification of long chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with alcohols over ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyst

Direct condensation of equimolar amounts of long chain carboxylic acids and alcohols could be achieved by using zirconyl chloride as an efficient catalyst. ZrOCl2·SH2O showed high activity for esterification between primary acids and alcohols; however, it was less active in the combination of branched acid and secondary alcohols to give the corresponding esters.
