Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The esters of gallic acid and higher primary alcohols, especially fatty alcohols, have recently gained considerable interest as possible antioxidants for fats.</jats:p><jats:p>Two independent methods for the preparation of these esters are described.</jats:p><jats:p>In the first method the hitherto unknown compound galloyl chloride is converted into an ester of gallic acid by reaction with the appropriate alcohol.</jats:p><jats:p>A new type of molecular addition compound between galloyl chloride and dioxane is described.</jats:p><jats:p>The second method deals with the direct esterification of gallic acid with higher alcohols, which, until now, had not been successfully achieved.</jats:p>
