Preparation of Ethyl 2-acetoxypropanoate
Kučerová, Eliška ; Pospíšilová, Aneta (referee) ; Figalla, Silvestr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the preparation of ethyl 2-acetoxypropanoate as a potential nonpolar biosolvent. Selected preparation should provide the highest yield possible. For this purpose, a theoretical review of possible syntheses was developed, with emphasis on syntheses based on acetylation of ethyl lactate. The experimental part of the work then focuses in more detail on the possibility of isolating ethyl 2-acetoxypropanoate from the reaction mixture. Product isolation was verified by fractional distillation and extraction method. In the isolated product, the basic physical properties were determined and the spectrum measured by Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, the hydrolytic stability of ethyl 2-acetoxypropanoate was investigated and a series of calorimetric measurements were performed. From these measurements, the effect of reaction temperature on reaction rate and product conversion and the effect of catalyst presence was assessed.
