2-Hexyl-1-decanol → 2-Hexyldecanoic acid

反応手順

The synthetic fuel was prepared by using a 1000 ml glass reactor, provided with thermostat, mechanical stirring, sampling outlet, and condensation system. Octanol-1 (300 g) was charged to the reactor and ZnO (2 g), KOH (6 g), CaO (5 g) and Cu Bronze (1.5 g) were added. The above reaction mixture was heated at 200° C. for 8 hours to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture was filtered and purified by distillation to get 2-hexyl-1-decanol (250 g). 2-Hexyl-1-decanol (250 g) was reacted with Jones reagent (200 ml) in acetone (200 ml) to get 2-hexyl-1-decanoic acid. 2-Hexyl-1-decanoic acid produced (200 g) was again charged to the above reactor and subsequently, methanol (200 g) and sulfuric acid (6.0 g) were added slowly to the reactor with stirring. The reaction mixture was refluxed till completion of the reaction. The reaction mixture was passed through basic alumina to get rid of residual catalyst. The catalyst free mixture was fractionated to separate un-reacted methanol and synthetic diesel. Prepared synthetic fuel was evaluated for fuel properties and results were tabulated.
