Abstract
The saponification of esters has been the subject of considerable study, and the technology of manipulation of the reaction well defined. As a result, the reaction has become a quantitative standard for ester analysis. However the comparison of the rates of this reaction with various esters as charaeteristic of them has received little consideration compared to the course of the reaction. The work of Mr. F. E. Adler on the adaptation of fat constants to waxes suggested the problem. The thesis will attempt to ascertain any significant differences in the saponification rates of various esters with regard to their characterization.
