Usage

Description

Lauryl Laurate is a fugitive wax, which means it can be easily removed or dissolved under certain conditions. It is derived from the esterification of lauric acid and lauryl alcohol, and it possesses unique properties that make it suitable for various applications across different industries.

Uses

Used in Biomimetic Self-Healing Materials:
Lauryl Laurate is used as a key component in the creation of biomimetic self-healing materials. These materials are designed to mimic the natural healing processes found in living organisms, and they incorporate interpenetrating microvascular networks based on fugitive inks and epoxy systems. The use of Lauryl Laurate in these materials allows for the development of self-healing properties, which can be beneficial in various applications where durability and repairability are important.
Used in the Creation of Fugitive Inks:
Lauryl Laurate is also used in the formulation of fugitive inks, which are designed to disappear or become invisible under specific conditions, such as exposure to heat, light, or chemicals. These inks are useful in various applications, including security printing, temporary marking, and packaging, where the ability to remove or hide information is desired.

Dehydrative Esterification of Carboxylic Acids with Alcohols Catalyzed by Polymer-Supported Sulfonic Acids in Water

Dehydrative esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols in water was efficiently catalyzed by hydrophobic polystyrene-supported sulfonic acids as recoverable and reusable catalysts. In these reactions, esters were obtained in high yields without using any dehydrating agents or apparatus. The sulfonic acid contents of the catalysts and the presence of long alkyl chains on the benzene rings of polystyrene significantly affected the catalytic activity.

Solvothermal synthesis of FeCo nanoparticles for magneto-controllable biocatalysis

A facile and simple one-step solvothermal method has been developed to synthesize FeCo nanoparticles with well-controlled composition, desired morphology and high saturation magnetization, which exhibit component-dependent magnetic behaviors: the increase of Fe content leads to the increase of saturation magnetization and the decrease of coercivity. Furthermore, due to the availability of a coarse surface for the stable adsorption of targeted cargo, the high saturation magnetization for efficient control and directional separation from a reaction mixture by an external magnetic field, the as-prepared magnetic FeCo nanoparticles could work as a fuel-free magneto-controllable carrier to load biocatalytically-active cargo lipase for magneto-controllable and recyclable biocatalytic synthesis of lauryl laurate under an external magnetic field. By alternate positioning of the FeCo carrier with loaded cargo in and out of the substrate solution, the biocatalysis for esterification from lauric acid and lauryl alcohol to lauryl laurate could be switched between "On" and "Off" states.

PRODUCTION METHOD OF ESTER COMPOUND

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce an ester compound at a high conversion even under mild reaction conditions. SOLUTION: A production method of an ester compound includes a reaction step for reacting a carboxylic acid of 8-22 carbons and an alcohol of 8-22 carbons at a temperature of 50-100°C in an ionic liquid composed of a phosphonium cation or an imidazolium cation and a trifluoromethanesulfonic acid anion or a bis (trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide anion to obtain an ester compound in a liquid phase different from an ionic liquid phase.

Mechanistic study of the selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives over supported rhenium catalysts

The structure and performance of TiO2-supported Re (Re/TiO2) catalysts for selective hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives have been investigated. Re/TiO2 promotes selective hydrogenation reactions of carboxylic acids and esters that form the corresponding alcohols, and of amides that generate the corresponding amines. These processes are not accompanied by reduction of aromatic moieties. A Re loading amount of 5 wt% and a catalyst pretreatment with H2 at 500 °C were identified as being optimal to obtain the highest catalytic activity for the hydrogenation processes. The results of studies using various characterization methods, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), indicate that the Re species responsible for the catalytic hydrogenation processes have sub-nanometer to a few nanometer sizes and average oxidation states higher than 0 and below +4. The presence of either a carboxylic acid and/or its corresponding alcohol is critical for preventing the Re/TiO2 catalyst from promoting production of dearomatized byproducts. Although Re/TiO2 is intrinsically capable of hydrogenating aromatic rings, carboxylic acids, alcohols, amides, and amines strongly adsorb on the Re species, which leads to suppression of this process. Moreover, the developed catalytic system was applied to selective hydrogenation of triglycerides that form the corresponding alcohols.
