Esterification of salicylic acid using Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resin as catalyst

The esterification of salicylic acid with methanol was carried out over a series of Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resins. The effect of different reaction conditions was studied on the conversion of salicylic acid, and the optimal reaction parameters were obtained. The experimental results indicated that Ce(SO4)2/001×7 was an effective catalyst for the synthesis of methyl salicylate. The conversion of salicylic acid could reach 93.3% while its selectivity was more than 99.0%. SEM-EDS and TG-DSC analysis were employed to characterize the structure and property of the catalyst. Besides, the catalytic performance of Ce(SO4) 2/001×7 in the esterification of salicylic acid with different alcohols was compared. The reusability of Ce(SO4)2/ 001×7 was also studied by using salicylic acid and methanol as model substrates. The mechanism was proposed for the esterification of salicylic acid with methanol over Ce4+ modified cation-exchange resins.

Microwave-accelerated esterification of salicylic acid using Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids as catalysts

A variety of Br?nsted acidic ionic liquids were screened as catalysts for the esterification of salicylic acid. The experimental results indicated that SO3H-functionalized ionic liquids with HSO4- performed high catalytic activity under microwave irradiation, and the yields can reach 91.9-93.6%. Furthermore, ionic liquids can be easily separated by simple decantation and have a fair reusability. The Br?nsted acidity-catalytic activity relationships were also investigated and the results showed that the activity of the acidic ionic liquids is in excellent agreement with their acidity order.

New boron(III)-catalyzed amide and ester condensation reactions

In 1996, we reported that benzeneboronic acids bearing electron-withdrawing groups at the meta- or para-position are highly effective catalysts for the amide condensation reaction in less-polar solvents. In this paper, we report that N-alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides are more effective catalysts than the previous ones in more polar solvents. N-Alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides are effective not only for amide condensation between equimolar mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines but also for the esterification of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids in alcohol solvents. Furthermore, perchlorocatecholborane is more effective than areneboronic acids for the amide condensation of sterically demanding carboxylic acids. In addition, Lewis acid-assisted Br?nsted acid (LBA), which is prepared from a 1:2 M mixture of boric acid and tetrachlorocatechol, is effective for the Ritter reaction from alcohols and nitriles to amides.

A facile, catalytic and environmentally benign method for esterification of carboxylic acids and transesterification of carboxylic esters with nearly equimolar amounts of alcohols

A practical and green chemical process for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols and transesterification of carboxylic esters in good to excellent yields by using K5CoW12O14· 3H2O (0.1 mol%) as catalyst is reported. The catalyst exhibited remarkable reusable activity. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

N-alkyl-4-boronopyridinium halides versus boric acid as catalysts for the esterification of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids

(Chemical Equation Presented) Boric acid is a highly effective catalyst for the dehydrative esterification reaction between equimolar mixtures of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids and alcohols. In contrast, N-methyl-4- boronopyridinium iodide (2a) is a more effective catalyst than boric acid for the similar esterification in excess alcohol. A heterogeneous catalyst, such as N-polystyrene-bound 4-boronopyridinium chloride, is also an effective catalyst and can be recovered by filtration.

Clear antiperspirants and deodorants made with siloxane-based polyamides

Clear antiperspirant and/or deodorant compositions, especially clear sticks having good structural integrity, can be formed by incorporating at least 8% by weight based on the total weight of the composition of a selected siliconized polyamide into a product formulated with at least one silicone material and at least one non-silicone emollient. The siliconized polyamides have the silicone portion in the acid side of the polyamide and are selected so that: (a) the degree of polymerization in the silicone portion is in the range of 12-18; (b) the average molecular weight of the siliconized polyamide is at least 50,000 daltons with at least 95% of the polyamide having a molecular weight greater than 10,000 as measured by size exclusion chromatography; and (c) the polydispersity is less than 20.

Antifungal activity of octyl gallate: Structural criteria and mode of action

Octyl gallate (3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate) was found to possess antifungal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zygosaccharomyces bailii, in addition to its potent antioxidant activity. Catechol moiety is essential to elicit this activity. The primary fungicidal activity of octyl gallate comes from its ability to act as a nonionic surface-active agent (surfactant). The length of the alkyl chain is not a major contributor but plays an important role in eliciting the activity.

Nematocidal principles in 'oakmoss absolute' and nematocidal activity of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoates

Nematocidal principles obtained from oakmoss absolute were identified as methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate (2), ethyl 3-formyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate (4), and ethyl 5-chloro-3-formyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate (7). In relation to their structures, the nematocidal activity of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoates of methyl to tetradecyl was tested and the strongest activity was found in the octyl ester (minimal lethal concentration=13 μM).
