Alkaline earth layered benzoates as reusable heterogeneous catalysts for the methyl esterification of benzoic acid

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of layered barium, calcium and strontium benzoates and evaluates the potential of these materials as catalysts in the synthesis of methyl benzoate. The methyl esterification of benzoic acid was investigated, where the effects of temperature, al...
