METHOD FOR SYNTHESISING ESTERS

摘要

A method for synthesising a second ester from a first ester, the method including the following steps: a) placing a first ester and a catalyst in the presence of dihydrogen such as to obtain a first alcohol and a second alcohol; b) extracting the second alcohol from the reaction medium; c) reacting the first alcohol with the catalyst of step a) in order to obtain a second ester and dihydrogen; and d) recirculating the dihydrogen obtained in step c) by injecting same into step a).
