Synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl salicylate under microwave radiation
Answers
hey
Explanation:
The 2-ethylhexyl salicylate was synthesized by 2-ethyl hexanol and salicylic acid with p-toluene sulphonic acid as catalyst under microwave radiation. The product was confirmed by IR, UV and GC/MS. Factors influencing the yield were examined by the orthogonally arranged experiments.
The optimum conditions were found as follows: 0.05 mol salicylic acid,
n(2-ethyl hexanol)
n(salicylic acid)=1:3, 0.8 g
catalyst, microwave power 540 W, reaction time 20 min, and with no water-carrying reagent.
Under the above conditions, the yield of 2-ethylhexyl salicylate could reach up to 86.76%
