Accelerated Saponification of Methyl Dodecanoate with Aqueous Sodium Hydroxide Solution in the Presence of Alcohols in a Silicone Rubber Tube as a Flow-Type Reactor

Saponification of methyl dodecanoate with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in the absence and presence of alcohols was studied using a tubular reactor made of silicone tube to elucidate effects of alcohol addition on the saponification. The reaction rates of saponification were accelerated signi...

Description
Summary:Saponification of methyl dodecanoate with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution in the absence and presence of alcohols was studied using a tubular reactor made of silicone tube to elucidate effects of alcohol addition on the saponification. The reaction rates of saponification were accelerated significantly when alcohols were dissolved in methyl dodecanoate and the rates were increased in the order: without alcohol
