A method for preparing a ketone group-containing estolide compound and a ketone group-containing estolide compound prepared thereby are disclosed. The method for preparing a ketone group-containing estolide compound includes converting biomass fat into a fatty acid; separating the fatty acid into a C16 saturated fatty acid and a C18 unsaturated fatty acid; increasing an amount of oleic acid through partial hydrogenation of the C18 unsaturated fatty acid; synthesizing a C35 ketone through ketonization of the oleic acid; and performing estolide bonding by capping the C16 saturated fatty acid onto the C35 ketone.
摘要:
One aspect of the present invention is a polyoxyalkylene ester composition comprising the reaction product of a polyoxyalkylated alcohol or polyol reactant and an acyl donor wherein the ester has greater than about 85 weight percent of a fully acylated polyoxyalkylene ester, less than about 15 percent of a partially acylated polyoxyalkylene ester, less than about 5 parts per million 1,4-dioxane and an acid number of less than about 20. Another aspect of the invention is a process for making the polyoxyalkylene ester composition that includes the steps of contacting a reaction mixture of an polyoxyalkylated alcohol or polyol reactant and an acyl donor reactant in a reactor and in the presence of an enzymatic catalyst under esterification conditions and recovering the polyoxyalkylene ester.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing carboxylic acid esters, comprising esterification of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol in the presence of a titanium-containing catalyst selected from compounds of a general formula, Tin(OR)x(OR')xOy, wherein n is an integer from 1 to 4; у is an integer from 0 to 6; x can be the same or different and is an integer from 2 to 8; R is a linear or branched C1-C18alkyl, C3-C18cycloalkyl, R' is aryl optionally comprising an electron-donor substituent; or a mixture thereof, with the proviso that if n is 1, then x is 2 and у is 0; and if n>1, then the compounds comprise at least two alkoxy groups and two aryloxy groups. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing carboxylic acid esters, wherein a compound of general formula (I) or (II), wherein q represents an integer of 1 to 4; Y is independently R or R'; or a mixture thereof, with the proviso that the compounds comprise at least two alkoxy groups and two aryloxy groups, is used as a catalyst. The claimed process allows to reduce the amount of a used catalyst and the time of the process duration, while increasing the conversion rate of initial reagents and the yield of a target product.
