Abstract
- Biodiesel production by using the pentylic acid triacylglyceride as a model compound.
- Molecular mechanism for the base-catalyzed transesterification based on DFT results.
- Formation of the intermediate adduct as the rate determining step of transesterification.
- The MG â GL step is the most exergonic reaction compared to DG â MG and TG â DG steps.
- The overall reaction gives a highly exergonic process with â20 kcal molâ1 as the free energy.
