- Molecular formula:C16H32O2
- Molecular Weight:256.42
Yield:124-06-1 98.43%
Reaction Conditions:
with sulfuric acid for 4.5 h;Sonication;
Steps:
3.3.2. Synthesis of Ethyl Myristate
Myristic acid (12 g, 53 mmol) was esteried by using a 4% wt sulfuric acid solution in ethanol (50 mL) and the mixture was sonicated for 4.5 h with a Branson 1210 ultrasonic cleaner (Branson, Danbury, CT, USA). After the reaction, the solvent was evaporated. The ltrate was diluted with ethyl acetate (40 mL) and washed with 5% wt sodium hydroxide solution until neutral. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated to obtain 13.25 g of ethyl myristate as a yellowish liquid (98.43% yield). FT-IR (cm-1): 2924 (C-H stretching), 1735 (C=O ester), 1458 (CH2 bending), 1180 (C-O ester). GC: 98.90% ethyl myristate (retention time (tR) = 34.4 min, [M-15]+ = 256).
