Abstract
The reaction of cyclohexene addition to glycerol in the presence of boron trifluorideetherate to obtain a simple cyclohexyl-2-glyceride ether was carried out. Also, the reaction of esterification of the obtained cyclohexyl-2-glyceride with C1-C5 monobasic saturated carboxylic acids in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst KU-2-8 (H-form) was studied. The influence of various factors on the yield of cyclohexyl-2-glyceride and the ester formate obtained on its basis has been studied, and optimal reaction conditions have been found. As a result, appropriate esters with yields 71 -91% were obtained. Physicochemical properties of the synthesized esters were determined and their structure identified.
