abstract:
A process for the one-step transformation of butanol into butyl butyrate has been set up by using a copper/zirconia catalyst. Yields of up to 98% can be obtained at 250 degrees C by withdrawing the H-2 formed. The high activity has been investigated through STEM analysis of the catalyst and FT IR spectroscopy of the substrate adsorbed on the catalyst surface.
