Abstract
Initial studies involving the Fischer esterification of acetic acid utilizing task specific ionic liquid (TSIL) 1 and ethanol revealed an interesting trend when comparing overall conversions with the level of reuse. A rise in product yield was observed up to the third recycling of the ionic liquid (IL) medium. Post-run analyses revealed that the TSIL remained unchanged and the by-products of the reaction, acetic acid and water, were being retained. Use of TSILs in the Fischer esterification reaction was both high yielding and programmable if the proper ratio of both water and reagents to immobilized medium was observed.
