Abstract
A kinetic scheme dor the reaction of 2,6-di- tert-butylphenol (ArOH) with methyl acrylate (MA) in the presence of potassium 2,6-di- tert-butylphenolate (ArOK) is proposed. Elementary constants are calculated for the catalytic steps and the influence of proton donor components, namely ArOH, H 2O and CH 3OH, on the kinetics was studied. The kinetic scheme contains 30 components and involves 62 rate constants of elementary steps which were computed by the method of mathematical simulation of the kinetics of the process. A comparison was carried out of the computed and experimental data concerning the dependence of the rate of consumption of ArOH on ArOK concentration and the concentration of proton donor components.
