1) List at least three experimental characteristics that differentiate traditional Fisher's esterification from Transesterification (use of reagents, catalyst, experimental procedure, advantages and / or disadvantages, etc.).

2. Explain what is the chemical role played by the following compounds in the transesterification of vegetable oil:

a) CH3OH

b) CH3COOH

c) NaOH

 

3. Why does the use of methanol experimentally condition the Transesterification

reaction? Explain. In this sense, what parallel reactions could occur and what would be

the possible products? Write down the abbreviated mechanisms for Transesterification

reaction and possible secondary reactions. Base on a theoretical basis.
