Abstract

The acetalization reaction between 1,2,4-butanetriol and aldehydes (butyaldehyde, valeraldehyde and hexaldehyde) to produce butanetriol acetals (AC) was investigated with different catalyst amounts, molar ratios and temperatures. Through the study of the reaction thermodynamic equilibrium, the value of the equilibrium constant as a function of temperature and the corresponding thermodynamic parameters ?rH0298K, ?rS0298K, and ?rG0298K were obtained. The results showed that the reaction in the temperature range of 298?323 K was exothermic and significantly thermodynamic limitations. A simple kinetic model well describing the reaction process was presented. The activation energy of the overall acetalization reaction was 51.1?52.3 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the effect of alkyl of various aldehydes on acetalization was quantitatively analyzed using LFER and it demonstrated that excellent correlation between reaction equilibrium and rate constants and polar effect parameter (?*) was found.
