Microwave-Assisted Homogeneous Acid Catalysis and Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Dialkyl Succinate in a Flow Reactor

Abstract: Two new continuous flow systems for the production of dialkyl succinates were developed via the esterification of succinic acid, and via the trans-esterification of dimethyl succinate. The first microwave-assisted continuous esterification of succinic acid with H2SO4 as a chemical homogeneous catalyst was successfully achieved via a single pass (ca 320 s) at 65–115 °C using a MiniFlow 200ss Sairem Technology. The first continuous trans-esterification of dimethyl succinate with lipase Cal B as an enzymatic cata… Show more

“…It could be used in daily fragrance and flavoring essence for the manufacture of soft drinks, ice creams, candies and baking food, also applied to produce lubricants, plasticizers and softeners. The traditional catalyst for synthesizing dodecanic acid ethyl ester is concentrated sulfuric acid, although cheap and easy to obtain, there have still been many side reactions [ 50 ]. The accumulation of carboid is inevitable and the color of the esterified products is too much darker.…”

“…21 Potassium phosphate tribasic was modeled based on the production of trisodium phosphate described in ecoinvent 3.4. Diethyl succinate production was evaluated by using a publication describing esterification of succinic acid 22 and the necessary heat quantity was based on ethyl acetate production described in ecoinvent 3.4; ethanol, which is both a solvent and a reagent, was estimated at 20 equivalents with respect to succinic acid loading. Succinyl chloride production was evaluated by using a patent describing carboxylic acid chloride production 23 and the energy consumption was based on trimesoyl chloride production described in ecoinvent 3.4 since no information regarding energy was reported in the patent.…”

“…[71], [73] Referring to the production of succinic diesters, Orjuela et al [74] report the synthesis by reactive distillation processes (using an excess of alcohol), with high yields of diesters. Also, Daviot et al [75] present a study of the synthesis of different succinic diesters, both by succinic acid esterification routes and by diethyl succinate transesterification, testing various alcohols. In their conclusions, they indicate that alcohols with less than 6 carbons provide better yields, greater efficiency in esterification processes (compared to the transesterification route) and greater efficiency (yield) of chemical catalysts compared to enzymatic ones, though the use of these latter is justified by the advantage of requiring lower reaction temperatures.…”
