Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Esterification Reactions
Baithy Mallesham, A. Jeyanthi, Pothu Ramyakrishna, Boddula Rajender
Green and sustainable solvents are gaining attention in the research institutes and industries owing to the minimal influence on the environment. The importance of supercritical fluids is associated with their “tunable” properties that could be easily altered by monitoring reaction parameters like pressure and temperature. The physical properties of supercritical fluids are in-between the gases and liquids. Therefore, ScCO2 is used as an environmentally friendly solvent in various esterification reactions.
