Abstract
The esterification of long-chain fatty acids such as lauric, stearic, oleic, elaidic, and linoleic acids in excess alcohol was accelerated under high pressure. Activation volume in the esterification of lauric acid with methyl, ethyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, and s-butyl alcohols was from -13-21 cm3/mol. The esterification of unsaturated fatty oleic, elaidic, and linoleic acids with methyl alcohol was accelerated by greater compression and activation volume ranged from -27-33 cm3/mol. With dichloromethane as solvent in the esterification of long-chain fatty acids with methyl alcohol, the reactions were greatly accelerated at high pressure with apparent activation volume from 0.4 MPa to 200 MPa and as much as -80 cm3/mol. The effects of pressure on reactions in dichloromethane were virtually the same in all cases except for the reaction of linoleic acid.
