Conditions

Temperature
130 °C

Procedure

A four-necked round-bottom flask equipped with a stirrer, a thermocouple, and a nitrogen inlet tube was charged with 1 mole of behenic acid per 1 mole of behenyl alcohol. The ingredients in the flask were heated at 130° C. for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, to carry out an esterification reaction. The reaction product was purified with methyl ether, to give behenyl behenate. Here, the resulting compound had an acid value of 0.1 mgKOH/g, and a hydroxyl value of 1.2 mgKOH/g.
