Abstract

Nearly all of the chemical literature on the condensation of olefins with organic acids is that of patents, the processes usually involving high temperatures and pressures. This investigation has shown that acetic, mono-, di-, trichloroacetic, and benzoic acids combine with propylene to give the corresponding isopropyl esters under such mild conditions as 25 cm. of mercury above atmospheric pressure and 70'in the presence of a small amount of ...
