Selective monoesterification of the longer carbon chain in a mixture of dicarboxylic acids by adsorbing and aligning the acids on alumina
Abstract
Selective monoesterification of the longer carbon chain in a mixture of dicarboxylic acids, [dodecanedioic acid (C12) plus glutaric acid (C5), adipic acid (C6), pimelic acid (C7), suberic acid (C8), or sebacic acid (C10)] was achieved by adsorbing and aligning the acids on alumina.
