METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 2-OCTYL ACRYLATE BY MEANS OF TRANSESTERIFICATION

摘要

The invention relates to the industrial production of 2-octyl acrylate of very high purity and with a high yield, using a continuous transesterification process. The method of the invention uses ethyl titanate in solution in 2-octanol or 2-octyl titanate as a transesterification catalyst, and employs a purification train comprising two distillation columns.
