Abstract
The title liquid-phase isothermal esterification kinetics have been measured in the temperature intervals of 110-125 and 110-160 °C for 2,4- and 2,6-diisopropylphenols, resp. The values measured have been used to calculate the rate constants of the respective three steps and to determine the activation energies. 2,6-Diisopropylphenol has been found to react only to the first degree, and the rate constants of the other two reaction steps (k2, k3) were only calculated from the differential equations given by means of a computer.
