Abstract

Guerbet alcohol acrylate was synthesized using acrylic acid and guerbet alcohol alcohols as reactants, p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst, hydroquinone as polymerization inhibitor and toluol as solvent by microwave irradiation heating instead of the conventional heating with oil bath. The structure of product was characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and the effect of different reaction parameters was discussed in this paper. A procedure for the generation of fairly clean guerbet alcohol acrylate is well developed and the results indicated that under the appropriate reaction conditions the esterification rate of guerbet alcohol acrylate could be achieved above 98%.
