Product description:By lauric acid and methanol esterification. Lauric acid, anhydrous methanol and a mixture of sulfuric acid heating reflux 18 h, will pour into the water reaction, ceding ester layer. In turn, saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and water washing with water. After dry distillation, the 261-263 ℃ fraction, which is twelve acid methyl ester, yield of 81%.Used as gas chromatographic stationary liquid, food additives and reagents in organic synthesis.Used as intermediates in organic synthesis.
