Several attempts have been made to obtain aliphatic dicarboxylic diesters from esterification reaction to develop the biomass-derived platform molecules and green manufacturing processes. In this paper, Na3(H2O)6[AlMo6O18(OH)6], an Anderson-type polyoxometalate, firstly, was reported as a catalyst for diester synthesis from dicarboxylic acid to diester which showed an well productivity and selectivity characterized by 1H and 13C. Response surface methodology (RSM) integrated with the desirability function approach was used to determine the best operative conditions, and the optimal reaction parameters for maximum dipropyl succinate yield (77 ± 2.5%) were identified as 1.19?mol.% catalyst loading, 4.9:1 propanol/succinic acid ratio, 113?°C, and 9.6?h. Three batches of tests were carried for catalyst recycling with 78–75% yield even after 6 cycles of esterification. In addition, the substrate carbon chain was increased for investigation of substrate scope achieving satisfactory results and all products were characterized by 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

A vortex fluidic device (VFD) is effective in mediating the synthesis of di-esters at room temperature. Processing under ambient conditions allows for a simple and efficient synthesis, whilst operating under continuous flow addresses scalability. The rotational speed of the sample tube and the flow rate were critical variables during reaction optimization, and this relates to the behaviour of the fluid flow at a molecular level. Whilst at specific rotational speeds the tube imparts a vibrational response into the fluid flow, the flow rate dictates residence time and the ability to maintain high levels of shear stress. The combination of mechanically induced vibrations, rapid micromixing, high levels of shear stress and water evaporation results in yields up to 90% for 3.25 minutes or less residence time. These results are key for devising greener and more efficient processes both mediated by the VFD and other continuous flow platforms.
