HRID 1489901Notes

Reaction equation

[CH3:1][OH:2].[C:3]([OH:6])(=[O:5])[CH3:4]>>[C:3]([O:6][CH3:1])(=[O:5])[CH3:4].[CH:1]([O:5][CH3:3])=[O:2]

Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 176Acetic Acid

HCID 887Methanol

Product 2

HCID 6584Methyl Acetate

HCID 7865Methyl formate

Procedure

Next, 1 μl (2.47×10-5 mol) of methanol was introduced into the reactor at a temperature of 200° C. by using helium gas as a carrier (flow rate: 25 ml/min). Thus, 0.0001×10-5 mol of acetic acid, 0.003×10-5 mol of methyl acetate and 0.02×10-5 mol of methyl formate were formed.
