Определение

ChEBI: A fatty acid methyl ester of lauric acid.

Общее описание

Hydrogenation of methyl laurate catalyzed by diatomite supported Pd-M (M=Cu, Co, Ni) bimetal nanocatalysts has been reported. IR absorption spectrum of methyl laurate in carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulphide solutions has been compared with the spectra of derivatives deuterated in the ω-methyl group and α-methylene groups.

Методы очистки

Pass the ester through alumina before use, and distil it in a vacuum. [Beilstein 2 IV 1090.]
