HCID 12620Behenyl Alcohol

Product 1

HCID 87221Behenyl behenate

Conditions

Temperature: 130 °C

Procedure

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