Efficient greener methodology for the preparation of bio-based phase change materials from lipids

In the present work, a new, highly efficient and simple strategy has been developed for the synthesis of long chain esters from fatty acids and fatty alcohols as phase change materials. Equivalent amounts of the selected starting compounds were taken to the esterification reaction at 110 °C in a solventless medium. In order to catalyze the esterification reaction, non-hygroscopic triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide adduct was used (0.83 mmol%) which is an easily accessible compound. The relevant reaction was completed in a very short time (2 h) and under optimized esterification conditions, excellent conversion were reached. The targeted mono ester compounds (15 examples) were obtained in good to excellent yields even after a simple crystallization step (72-99%). Additionally, a catalyst reuse investigation and study covering the scale-up production of stearyl stearate was also carried out. The triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide catalyzed solvent free process can compete with existing processes and proved to be a cheaper, practical and environmentally-friendly method for the esterification of fatty acids and alcohols.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING CARBOXYLIC ACID ESTER AND ESTERIFICATION CATALYST

A process for carboxylic acid ester production by which a carboxylic acid ester comprising an alcohol and a carboxylic acid each having 10 or more carbon atoms can be produced in a high yield. The catalyst used can be reused. The process generates a small amount of wastes and is less apt to pose an environmental problem. Also provided is an esterification catalyst usable in the process. In the esterification of a C10 or higher carboxylic acid and a C10 or higher alcohol, use is made, as a catalyst, of a hydrate of a salt of at least one metal selected among aluminum, gallium, indium, iron, cobalt, nickel, zinc, zirconium, hafnium, and niobium.

Efficient esterification of long chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with alcohols over ZrOCl2·8H2O catalyst

Direct condensation of equimolar amounts of long chain carboxylic acids and alcohols could be achieved by using zirconyl chloride as an efficient catalyst. ZrOCl2·SH2O showed high activity for esterification between primary acids and alcohols; however, it was less active in the combination of branched acid and secondary alcohols to give the corresponding esters.
