Correlation between thermodynamic parameters (GLC) and structure of esters

Abstract

The ΔHs and [Formula: see text] values of some one hundred esters belonging to twenty different homologous series are determined experimentally in the polar stationary phase (Carbowax 1540) by gas–liquid chromatography.Correlations between thermodynamic values and the molecular structure of esters are studied. The influence of the number of carbon atoms in the acid and alcohol chains and the position of the carboxylic group and branching chains on the ΔHs and [Formula: see text] values is considered.Faisant appel à la chromatographie en phase gazeuse impliquant du Carbowax 1540 comme phase stationnaire on a déterminé expérimentalement les valeurs de ΔHs et de [Formula: see text] d'une centaine d'esters appartenant à 20 séries homologues différentes.
