Abstract

The formation and fate of monomethyl sulfate (MMS) and dimethyl sulfate (DMS) were studied by proton NMR for a sulfuric acid catalyzed esterification reaction in methanol. The kinetic rate constants for DMS and MMS were determined at 65° C by fitting time-dependent experimental data to a model using DynoChem. In refluxing methanol, sulfuric acid was converted to monomethyl sulfate (MMS) in nearly quantitative yield within 45 min. Once ...
