Temperature and solvent effect on the thermodynamic equilibrium in the intramolecular transesterification process of ethyl 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-pentanoate
Enthalpy, entropy, free energy, equil. consts., and conversion degrees of the intramol. transesterification of the title compd. to resp. lactone in gas phase and in polar media at 0-100 degrees C were calcd. from thermodynamic properties of the raw material and product by using a commonly used cam. available algorithm. The reaction evil. const. and conversion degree increased strongly with the increasing temp. Polarity of the environment showed a less significant effect on the reaction equil. and conversion degree.
