エステルの加水分解によるカルボン酸及びアルコールの製造方法

摘要

As shown by the following formula (1), after methyl laurate (2 mmol) and water (8 mL) are added to an ammonium pyrosulfate catalyst (5 mol%), a hydrolysis reaction of methyl laurate is carried out by heating for 24 hours at 60°C while stirring is performed, so that lauric acid can be obtained with a yield of 86%.
