The direct esterification reaction between 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) and trimethylolpropane (TMP) was conducted in the presence of various catalyst concentrations of <i>p</i>-toluenesulfonic acid (<i>p</i>-TSA) to examine the optimized synthetic conditions needed to produce high-purity trimethylolpropane-tris(3-mercaptopropionate) (TMPMP). The purity of the desired TMPMP and uncompleted side-product reduced as the acid catalyst concentration in this esterification reaction increased while ...[more]
