Hydrolysis of water-insoluble esters by octadecyl immobilized H-ZSM-5 catalyst in a water–toluene system

Abstract
In the hydrolysis of water–insoluble esters in a water-toluene system octadecyltrichlorosilane-treated ZSM-5, which floated at the interface of the two liquids, was observed to be a solid interface catalyst.
