Participants

Reaction Steps

As in Example C, 73.3 g (0.539 mole) pentaerythritol, 145.5 g (0.539 mole) technical stearic acid, and 183.2 g (0.539 mole) technical behenic acid were reacted in a first step, and 67.4 g (0.46 mole) adipic acid was reacted in a second step, using 0.25 g tin powder as catalyst in each step. The pentaerythritol adipate stearate behenate obtained (7:6:7:7) (material D; 410 g) was a pale yellowish, slightly brittle, wax-like mass (dropping point 60.8° C.; acid number 1.3; saponification number 257.5; hydroxyl number 19.2).
