Abstract of Masters Thesis:

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT ASPECTS IN MANUFACTURING OF ORGANIC PHOSPHATE AND ACETATES

The family of organic phosphates and acetates which includes substances of extremely diversified physical and chemical properties is well represented in both the actual and potential application. Ester derivative of carboxylic acid are called acetates. Most ester is liquid with characteristically pleasant odor. They are widely distributed in essential oil and fruit and are, in some cases, their most distinguishable odoriferous constituent. Referred to as fruit essence. Phosphates are organic esters of hypothetical phosphorous acid. Due to their structure they are neutral compounds. They are readily hydrolysable and are susceptible to oxidation. Organic phosphates are insoluble in water but miscible in most of the organic solvents.
Various process development aspects in manufacturing of this compound are 

  1. Selectivity of product
  2. Quantification and confirmation of product
  3. Reduction of Intermediate
  4. Purity of product
  5. Yield of product
  6. Kinetics of reaction

Various routes to reach the desired aspects are

  1. Using excess quantity of the reactant
  2. Increasing temperature of the reaction
  3. Increasing reaction time
  4. Use of catalyst

In the present work, the emphasis was given on the study of various parameter like temperature, mole ratio, catalyst loading etc. on yield of Acetates and Phosphates.
