Abstract

Researchers are forced to find alternative bio-based sources to produce fine chemicals due to the growing consumption and depletion of fossil resources. Methylsuccinic acid esters represent an exciting group of substances that could find potential in several areas of the chemical industry, such as polymers' production or a replacement of phthalates in plasticizers. Density, viscosity, and saturated vapor pressure are the fundamental properties for process simulations relating to the production of these compounds. 4 methylsuccinic acid esters with the commercial potential were studied in this paper—dimethyl methylsuccinate, diethyl methylsuccinate, di-n-propyl methylsuccinate, and di-n-butyl methylsuccinate. The presented data were experimentally determined, compared to the previously published data, if possible, and subsequently fitted by a relevant model for each property in Aspen Plus simulation software. The conformity between the experimental and calculated data were determined by values of average absolute deviation. The basic knowledge about these physical–chemical properties will be helpful in future process simulations and development in producing these esters.
