• Biodiesel production—current state of the art and challenges (2008, background): “Recently, mesoporous silica multifunctionalized with both organosulfonic acid and hydrophobic organic groups such as allyl and phenyl was shown to be effective in esterifying free fatty acids while excluding water, a byproduct that inhibits the reaction, from the proximity of the active sites [29].”
• Conversion of oils and fats using advanced mesoporous heterogeneous catalysts (2006, background): “The multifunctionalized materials were subsequently evaluated for their catalytic performance in the esterification of palmitic acid with methanol ( 17 ).”
• Recent Progress in Synthesis of Fine and Specialty Chemicals from Wood and Other Biomass by Heterogeneous Catalytic Processes (2007, methodology): “Fatty acids in palmitic oil have been esterified with methanol over mesoporous silica catalysts containing incorporated organosulfonic acid groups 528 529 .”
