Abstract

The pyrolysis of benzoic acid in the presence of excess m-phenylphenol was studied to examine the formation and decomposition of aryl esters. The pyrolysis of phenyl benzoate was evaluated at 400°C to determine if aryl esters act as a thermally stable low-temperature cross-link. Aryl esters could slowly form at temperatures as low as 200°C, but the efficiency of the reaction increased with temperature. Only m-phenylphenyl benzoate was found at ≤ 300°C, but at 400°C, other pyrolysis products were observed, which arose from benzoic acid decomposition. The aryl ester appeared to be thermally stable but hydrolytically unstable. Formation of aryl esters could be a low temperature pathway for the cross-linking of low rank coals.
