Knowledge of the kinetics of the reaction of butanol and acetic acid catalyzed by sulfuric acid, coupled with vapor-99.92% pure, and had a water content of 0.080% and a boiling range of 116.6-117.7°C. Butyl acetate was prepared from commercial ester by treatment with acetyl chloride, followed by distillation and phosphorus pentoxide purification (3) and redistillation; its boiling point was 125.5°C. and its ester content was 99.80% by saponification in the cold with aqueous alkali.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
