Ion-exchange Resin Catalyzed Esterification of Lactic Acid with Isopropanol: a Kinetic Study
<p>The kinetic behavior of esterification of lactic acid with isopropanol over an acidic cation exchange resin, Amberlyst 15, was studied under isothermal condition. Isopropyl lactate synthesized in this reaction is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. The experiments were carried out in...
