Abstract:

The use of heterogeneous catalytic systems in the production of esters of secondary alcohols (monoterpenic and steroidal) allows obtaining satisfactory yields of these derivatives widely used in the industry.
The use of the heterogeneous system uranyl acetate / chloroform, under laboratory conditions, allows to reach yields higher than 90 %, optimizing the purification steps and without the use of extreme conditions (inert atmosphere, high temperatures or corrosive agents). All compounds were characterized by the use of spectroscopic techniques.

Keywords: uranyl acetate, esterification, alcohols
