The rate of esterification reaction is usually very slow and, therefore, needs an acid catalyst to accelerate it. This research examined the performance of a heterogeneous catalyst made of γ-Al2O3 impregnated with a protic acid, H2SO4. The heterogeneous catalyst, γ-Al2O3/SO4, was characterized using FTIR, XRD, XRF, and BET methods. The esterification reactions were conducted using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent at a temperature of 1000C and observed after they lasted for 1 to 24 hours (reaction time). The esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with glucose used two catalysts, namely 3% SO42-/Al2O3 and 5% SO42-/Al2O3. The reaction products were analyzed using FTIR, HPLC, nd LC-MS methods. The % yield was the highest at Hour 24 for both catalysts, while the % conversion fluctuated during the esterification time. The LC-MS showed that the three produced esters had molecular weights of 300, 420, and 540. publisher: Pharmaciana full_text_status: public publication: Esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with glucose using a γ-Al2O3/SO4 catalyst refereed: TRUE issn: 2477 0256 citation: Elfia Siska Yasa Putri, Elfia dan Widajanti Wibowo, Widajanti dan Soleh Kosela, Soleh Esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with glucose using a γ-Al2O3/SO4 catalyst.
