Synthesis of Amyl Ferulate Catalyzed by Sodium Bisulfate Supported by Silica

Abstract:

Amyl ferulate was synthesized by direct esterification with using sodium bisulfate supported by silica as a catalyst, ferulic acid and n-pentanol as raw materials. The influences of some factors on the synthetic process were studied. The optimal reaction conditions based upon 0.2 mol of ferulic acid were chosen that the molar ratio of n-pentanol and ferulic acid was 2 : 1, the mass ratio of catalyst to reactants was 6%, refluxing reaction time was 3 hours. The yield of the product reached 97% under the above conditions. The structure of the product was characterized by IR, 1H NMR and MS spectrum. The catalyst could be recycled and used for many times.
