Transesterification of acrylates by heterogeneous basic catalysis

Authors:  Maldonado Adriana, Essayem Nadine, Christ Lorraine, Figueras François

Abstract:
Different solid basic catalysts including CsF/Al₂O₃, KF/Al₂O₃, Ca(NO₃)2/Al₂O₃, NaNO₃/Al2O₃, LiNO₃/Al₂O₃ were evaluated for the transesterification of ethyl acrylate by n-hexanol. All of them are active and selective in the transesterification reaction under mild conditions and without solvent, using a 1/1 molar ratio of reactants. Ca/Al2O3 was shown to be the most selective of this set of catalysts and it could be recycled three times without lost of selectivity.
