Plasticizers: Synthesis of phthalate esters via FeCl3-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of alcohols to phthalic anhydride
Phthalates are esters of phthalic anhydride. Phthalic anhydride (1) has been reacted with alcohols 2 to synthesize phthalate monoesters 3 and diesters 4 with the favor of latter compound that primarily used as plasticizers worldwide. This two-steps process operates in single pot, in the presence of...
