STEARYL BEHENATE synthesis

Yield: 97%

Reaction Conditions:

with triphenylphosphine-sulfur trioxide adduct in neat (no solvent) at 110; for 2 h;Green chemistry;

Steps:

Esterification
General procedure: In order to perform the esterification reaction, into a single-necked reaction flask, at equivalent quantities stearic acid (0.50 g, 1.76 mmol) and myristyl alcohol (0.48 g, 1.77 mmol) were added. After addition of the catalyst (5 mg), the mixture was heated with stirring in an oil bath at 110 C (bath temperature) for 2 h. Finally the reaction mixture was cooled and the obtained solid was crystallized from methanol/acetone/tetrahydrofuran to afford pure crystalline product.
