Title: Improvement on synthesis of cyclohexyl cinnamate with p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst
Abstract: Esterification of cinnamic acid and cyclohexyl alcohol was studied by using p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst without water-carrying agent.The effect of different factors such as the mole ratio of alcohol to acid,reaction time and the amount of the catalyst on the yield of cyclohexyl cinnamate were discussed.The results showed that p-toluenesulfonic acid had good catalytic activity.The optimum conditions were as follows:when the amount of cinnamic acid was 0.02 mol,the mole ratio of alcohol to acid is 3.5 ∶1,reaction time was 1.0 h,the amount of the catalyst was 0.20 g,the yield can reach 95.4%.
