Abstract:
Fatty acid esters of glycerol or tetraglycerol are prepd. by the transesterification of Me esters of fatty acids (esp. Me stearate [112-61-8]) with glycerol or tetraglycerol at 95-150° in the presence of an alk. catalyst and an anionic or nonionic emulsifier. These esters are not highly substituted. Emulsion formation and the catalyst are required for high transesterification yields. The effects of temp., type and concn. of emulsifier, and reactant ratio on the transesterification were examd.
