DICAPRYLIN (1, 3-DCY) 1, 3DCy was purified by crystallization from n-hexane at-20°C several times. When high amount of MG was presented, the second crystallization in dry methanol has to be done to obtain 1,3-DCy in high purity (>98%). Highest yield of 1,3- DCy (93%) obtained from esterification between vinyl caprylate (CYVE) and glycerol at 0°C in a solvent-free condition catalyzed by CAL-B. The yield thus obtained was higher than the yield obtained (75%) in literature (see, e. g., J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. , 1992,69 : 955- 960), see Figure 12. Figure 12 illustrates data of various esterification reactions in the synthesis of 1, 3-DCy. Method 1 is the esterification of glycerol and caprylic acid in a solvent-free condition at 0°C catalyzed by CAL-B. Method 2 is the esterification of glycerol and caprylic acid vinyl ester in a solvent-free condition at 0°C catalyzed by CAL-B. Method 3 see, e. g. , J. Am. Oil Chem. Soc. , 1992,69 : 955-960) is the esterification of glycerol immobilized on silica gel and caprylic acid vinyl ester in MTBE at room temperature catalyzed by Lipozyme RM IMTM (Novozymes, Denmark). DG = 1,3-dicaprylin, MG = 1-MONOCAPRYLIN. Esterification between caprylic acid (Cy) and glycerol gave moderate yield (55%) at lower reaction rates and high amount of MAG was produced during the reaction. The yield could be increased up to 65% by increasing the reaction temperature from 0°C to room temperature. CAL-B gave higher yield and less MAG and allowed faster reaction rate than Lipozyme RM IM" (Novozymes, Denmark) in esterification of glycerol and Cy or CYVE, both in organic solvent and a solvent-free condition. Studies on effect of ratio of glycerol: caprylic acid on esterification reaction showed that initial reaction rate decreased and the yield of 1, 3-DCy slightly increased with increasing ratio from 1: 2 to 1: 6, as illustrated in (Figure 13). Figure 13 summarizes data showing the effect of substrate ratio on esterification between glycerol and caprylic acid in n-hexane at 0°C catalyzed by CAL-B (DG = 1,3-dicaprylin, MG = 1- monocaprylin).
