Gawas, Sarita D.; Rathod, Virendra K. published the artcile< Ultrasound assisted green synthesis of 2-ethylhexyl stearate: a cosmetic bio-lubricant>, Computed Properties of 104-76-7, the main research area is 2-ethylhexyl stearate; bio-lubricant; cosmetics; lipase; ultrasound.
The 2-ethylhexyl stearate is used as a bio-lubricant in various cosmetic products. The present study is focused on the biocatalyzed esterification of 2-ethylhexanol and stearic acid to form 2-ethylhexyl stearate catalyzed by Fermase CALB 10000 in the presence of ultrasound treatment. The maximum conversion (95.87%) was obtained at molar ratio of 2-ethylhexanol to stearic acid 2:1, enzyme amount of 2 % (weight/weight), power 80 W, duty cycle 50 % and temperature 50°C in comparatively short reaction time (3 h) in the presence of Fermase as a catalyst. At optimum conditions, it is observed that in the presence of ultrasound; the reaction time minimizes up to 4 h as compared to mech. stirring method (7 h). The physiochem. properties for the 2-ethylhexyl palmitate were also evaluated.
