Reaction Steps

In a three-necked flask, 19.4 g (0.1 mole) of ferulic acid, 6.01 g (0.1 mole) of n-propyl alcohol, and 1.0 g of paratoluenesulfonic acid were placed, and 200 ml of benzene was added. This reaction mixture was stirred at 78° C. for 15 hours. Thereafter, the same procedures were taken as in Example 1 to obtain 15.2 g (yield: 64%) of n-propyl ferulate.
