1. A normal monohydric alcohol having the formula CH3CH2CH2CH2OH, a flammable liquid having limited solubility in water and of moderate toxicity.

2. The invention relates to a method for preparing a novel diester, which comprises steps of synthesis using immobilization lipase catalyzed by biprotic fatty acid and monohydric fatty alcohol.

3. Aromatic hyperbranched polyesters(HBP) were synthesized by 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic anhydride, diols and monohydric alcohols using solution polymerization and melting polymerization.

4. In the broadest embodiment, sulfur is produced by reducing the sulfur dioxide with a reducing gas comprising one or more lower, monohydric alcohols.

5. The characteristics, synthesis and uses of fatty acid esters of monohydric and polyhydric alcohols , and their new developing tendency for "green surfactants"are described.
