Title	An Efficient and Green Approach for the Esterification of Aromatic Acids with Various Alcohols over H₃PO₄/TiO₂-ZrO₂

Abstract	TiO₂-ZrO₂ was prepared with surfactant through a sol-gel method. Catalysts containing 5 - 35% H₃PO₄ were prepared using these oxides. Subsequently the catalytic performance of prepared catalysts was determined for liquid phase esterification of aromatic acids. H₃PO₄/TiO₂-ZrO₂ has been used as catalyst to synthesize various novel esters by esterification of some aromatic acids with aliphatic alcohols (2-propanol, 1-butanol, iso butanol, 3-pentanol, 1-hexanol, heptanol, cyclo heptanol, octanol and decanol). Under optimized conditions, maximum yields and selectivity (100%) to the corresponding ester, was obtained by using 25 wt % H₃PO₄/TiO₂-ZrO₂ as catalyst. The Catalyst can be easily recycled after reaction and can be reused without any significant loss of activity/selectivity performance. No by-product formation, high yields, short reaction times, mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity with reusability of the catalyst are the salient features of the present synthetic protocol. The reaction was carried out under solvent-free condition.
