Type of article: Article

Summary

The freezing effect on esterification of acids of different polarity has been investigated in dioxane solution and compared with the results obtained in liquid phase. The freezing of the dioxane solutions resulted in a significant increase of yield of methyl benzoate, however, ester formation of the other acids became nearly similar in liquid and frozen conditions. The role of freezing and polarity of the acids in the ester yield is discussed. A further purpose of the present investigations was to demonstrate the possibility of esterification in frozen conditions.
