Bioderived based plasticizers

A method of producing a bioderived based plasticizer, comprising:

• hydrolyzing a triglyceride to produce a bioderived carboxylic acid, wherein the triglyceride is selected from the group consisting of canola oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, linseed oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, and mixtures thereof;
• reacting a bioderived diol and the bioderived carboxylic acid in the presence of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), wherein the bioderived diol is selected from the group consisting of 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)furan, 2,5-bis(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydrofuran, isosorbide, and mixtures thereof.
