Reaction Steps

The phenolsulfonic acid-functionalized on different solid supports were used as the catalysts in the liquid phase esterification of palmitic acid (PA) with MeOH and iPrOH to form methylpalmitate and iso-propylpalmitate as the products, respectively. The reactions were carried out at the reflux temperature of MeOH.
