Title: Synthesis of n -butyl p -hydroxybenzoate catalyzed by inorganic solid acid
Abstract: n -Butyl p -hydroxybenzoate was synthesized with high yield by esterification of n -butyl alcohol with p -hydroxybenzoic acid in the presence of sodium bisulfate monohydrate.The effects of amount of sodium bisulfate monohydrate, amount of n -butyl alcohol and reaction time on the yield of n-butyl p -hydroxybenzoate were investigated. Ester yield of 92.8% was obtained under the following condition: molar ratio of p -hydroxybenzoic acid, n -butyl alcohol and sodium bisulfate = 1∶2∶0.072, reflux for separating water for 5 h.
