Chemical properties:
Colorless
clear oily liquid,can be dissolved with organic solvents,insoluble in water.
Use:
For organic synthesis intermediates.
As gas chromatography stationary phase,
food additives and organic synthesis reagents.
Production method:
Lauric acid esterification with methanol
derived. The lauric acid, anhydrous methanol and concentrated sulfuric acid was
heated at reflux for 18h, the reaction was poured into water, separated
carbonate layer. Washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and
water. After drying distillation, collecting 261-263 ℃
fractions, namely 12 acetate, yield 81%.
Storage:
Stored in cool
and dry place. Kept in airproof condition.
