Several studies have reported that diesters derived from fatty acids and fatty alcohols can be used as thermal energy storage materials.
In this context, developing suitable methods for the synthesis of these compounds is an important goal.
To prepare long-chain diesters, there are only a few methods available in the literature and they have certain disadvantages.
The use of aromatic toxic solvents such as toluene and azeotropic removal of water formed in the reaction, use of aggressive reagents such as SOCl 2 , and difficult stages in product purification are only some of them.
On the other hand, in the transesterification reactions carried out in basic medium, the formation of by-products decreases the diester yield.
Therefore, Dibasic ester is important to investigate the synthesis of these esters with efficient and environmentally friendly methods.

In order to achieve maximum yield in esterification reactions, usually one of the reagents is used in excessive amounts.
Another method is to remove the water formed during the reaction by Dean–Stark apparatus azeotropically from the medium.
In this case, however, it is generally necessary to use toxic aromatic solvents such as toluene, xylene, or mesitylene.
In alternative methods, more active derivatives of carboxylic acids are used in the esterification reactions.
Dibasic ester is therefore necessary to develop more environmentally friendly and practical methods of esterification and transesterification reactions.
