Catalysis by phosphates: A simple and efficient procedure for transesterification reaction

Zinc chloride and potassium fluoride doped on natural phosphate (ZnCl2/NP and KF/NP) and sodium nitrate modified natural phosphate (Na/NP) catalyze efficiently the transesterification reaction. The reaction proceeds in refluxing condition without remove of alcohol formed. Na/NP can be easily regenerated and reused. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
