- SYNTHESIS OF TRIETHYLENE GLYCOL BIS(2-ETHYLHEXANOATE)
-
A process for the transesterification of methyl-2- ethylhexanoate with triethylene glycol to produce triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate is provided. In the process, methyl-2- ethylhexanoate is combined with triethylene glycol to form a first mixture. The first mixture is heated in the presence of a catalyst to form a second mixture comprising methanol and triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate. Methanol is separated from the second mixture to yield triethylene glycol di-2-ethylhexanoate. Na2CO3, CS2CO3, K2CO3, Rb2CO3, sodium methoxide or titanium isopropoxide are suitable catalysts.

- METHOD OF PREPARING GLYCOL ESTERS WITH LOW COLOR AND PEROXIDE CONTENT
-
?The present invention relates to the field of preparing glycol esters used as plasticizers in the manufacture of films for multilayered glass. In particular, the invention relates to a method for preparing triethylene glycol ester of 2-ethylhexanoic acid. The claimed method includes the steps of esterification, clarification of a crude ester by treating thereof with hydrogen peroxide and alkali metal metasilicate at a temperature of from 70 to 200oC, inclusive, and allowing to stand for 0.5 to 1.5 hours, inclusive, to obtain a clarified ester, neutralization of acidic compounds in the clarified ester by treating thereof with an alkaline solution, filtration, and drying of the ester. The technical result of the invention is the development of an economical and safe method of preparing glycol esters that are characterized by low values of color, acidity and peroxide content.

- METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ESTER
-
Disclosed is a method for production of an ester obtained from a reaction between at least one alcohol having at least one hydroxyl group, such as a diol, and at least one linear of branched C3-C20 monocarboxylic acid, said reaction being performed in presence of at least one azeotropic solvent and optionally at least one antioxidant. Said method comprises the steps of (a) charging said alcohol, said monocarboxylic acid, and said azeotropic solvent and optionally said antioxidant to a reactor, (b) subjecting said alcohol and said carboxylic acid to esterification under reflux, (c) removing azeotropic solvent and unreacted carboxylic acid from yielded reaction mixture, (d) steam stripping off residual unreacted carboxylic acid, (e) neutralising yielded reaction product with an aqueous base, (f) separating water and organic phases, (g) recovering said organic phase and evaporating residual water, and (h) filtering off said antioxidant and possible remaining salts in yielded reaction product. The method is preferably performed in at least one reactor equipped with reflux, at least one vacuum pump, evaporation/distillation, steam stripping and decantation, and at least one filtration unit and optionally at least one coalescer filtre.

- Method for Post-Treating Polyol Esters
-
A batchwise process for aftertreatment of polyol esters prepared by reacting polyols of the general formula (II) [in-line-formulae]H—(—O—[—CR1R2—]m—)o—OH ??(II)[/in-line-formulae] in which R1 and R2 are each independently hydrogen, an alkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, preferably methyl, ethyl or propyl, or a hydroxyalkyl radical having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, preferably the hydroxymethyl radical, m is an integer from 1 to 10, preferably 1 to 8 and especially 1, 2, 3 or 4, o is an integer from 2 to 15, preferably 2 to 8 and especially 2, 3, 4 or 5, with excess linear or branched aliphatic monocarboxylic acids having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and having a lower boiling point than the polyols used. The process is carried out in the presence of a Lewis acid and in the presence of an adsorbent, while removing the water formed, characterized in that the excess monocarboxylic acid is removed by distillation and water is added to the crude ester obtained at a temperature below the boiling point of water at the particular pressure and the crude ester with added water is aftertreated with avoidance of basic compounds, and the sparingly soluble conversion products and the adsorbent present in the esterification reaction are filtered off.
