Procedure

Decanoic acid (C10 acid), dodecanoic acid (C12 acid), and tetradecanoic acid (C14 acid)--each of 100 mmol of C10, C12 and C14 acids were dissolved in 50 ml dichloromethane, and 300 mmol of ethylene glycol were added to the solutions. Several drops of H2 SO4 were added to the mixture. The reaction mixtures were stored at room temperature for 9 days. Isolation of the esters were carried out using the same procedure as that to isolate ethylene glycol monopelargonate.
