Sonication effects on ester hydrolysis in alcohol–water mixtures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Kinetics of the neutral hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl chloroacetate was investigated in water and in the presence of 1 mol % of ethanol, propanol, and -butyl n alcohol without sonication and under ultrasound at 25 kHz. Similarly, the kinetics of the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of -propyl n acetate in ethanol–water binary solutions was investigated without sonication and under ultrasound at 22 kHz. The results are discussed together with corresponding data for ethyl and -butyl n acetate from previous works. It was concluded that for ester hydrolyses the solvent effects in an aqueous alcohol binary mixture are limited almost entirely to the hydrophobic ground-state stabilization by the organic co-solvent.

Effects of ultrasound time on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol-based nanocomposite films
Background and Objectives: Preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. One of the most important methods for dispersing nanoparticles in polymers is the use of ultrasound radiation. Polyvinyl alcohol-montmorillonite (PVA-MMT) nanocomposite films were prepared via solvent casting method. Materials and Methods: The effects of different ultrasound ti...
متن کاملEffect of ultrasound on ester hydrolysis in aqueous ethanol.
Kinetics of the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of ethyl acetate in ethanol-water binary solutions were investigated without sonication and under ultrasound at 22 kHz. Rate enhancements by 1.03-2.4 times were found with a minimum at 18 wt.% and a maximum at 45 wt.% of ethanol. The results suggest that ultrasonic acceleration of the reaction may be interrelated to the perturbation of the molecular str...

متن کاملPromotion of the lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of conjugated linoleic acid l-menthyl ester by addition of an organic solvent
Conjugated linoleic acid l-menthyl ester was hydrolyzed in water by the lipase from Candida rugosa with the addition of an organic solvent. The degree of hydrolysis (yield) greatly improved when a tertiary alcohol, such as t-butyl alcohol, was added. However, the addition of a less polar solvent, such as hexane, decreased the degree of hydrolysis, and some water-miscible solvents, such as aceto...
