The ionic liquid was used four times without any dramatic decrease in ester yield. And the methyl ester was checked by 1H NMR. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. %Z cited By 9; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:114811
