IT is well known that the application of long-chain fatty acid samples to gas chromatography needs their previous esterification to methyl esters. Speaking generally, there are two ways to obtain ...

the system achieved an impressive 80.5% conversion rate of acetic acid—much higher than the theoretical limit of 62.5%. This study not only improves the efficiency of esterification reactions ...

Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...
