Benzaldehyde → Methyl Benzoate

HRID 988061Notes

Reaction equation

[CH:1](=[O:8])[C:2]1[CH:7]=[CH:6][CH:5]=[CH:4][CH:3]=1.[CH2:9]([OH:11])C>>[C:1]([O:11][CH3:9])(=[O:8])[C:2]1[CH:7]=[CH:6][CH:5]=[CH:4][CH:3]=1

Participants

Reactant 2

HCID 240Benzaldehyde

HCID 702Ethanol

Product 1

HCID 7150Methyl Benzoate

Procedure

Substantially the same procedure as in Example 7 was repeated, except that the activated catalyst prepared in Example 4 was used, that benzaldehyde was used instead of the methacrolein, and that ethanol was used instead of the methanol, to thereby effect a reaction for producing methyl benzoate. Analysis was made with respect to the reaction mixture which was withdrawn from the outlet of the reactor 10 hours after the start of the reaction. As a result, it was found that the conversion of benzaldehyde was 76.2%, and the selectivity for methyl benzoate was 93.2%.
