Preparation of a novel poly(vinylsulfonic acid)-grafted solid phase acid catalyst and its use in esterification reactions.
A high-density sulfonic acid polymer, grafted onto a carrier surface, was synthesized from the acid form of vinylsulfonic acid monomer, and its catalytic activity as a new class of heterogeneous acid catalyst demonstrated in esterification reactions.
