Kinetic studies on the esterification of maleic anhydride with n- and sec-butanols on selected catalysts
Bu and EtCHMe maleates were synthesized by esterification of maleic acid with resp. alcs. in presence of H2SO4, H-3[P(W3O10)(4)]center dot 6H(2)O or Nafion resin at 383-413 K to det. the reaction kinetics. The reactions had 2nd order kinetics in respect to acid and alc.
