Reaction Steps

The procedure in Example 3 (3) was repeated except that ethyl formate was used in place of methyl formate. As a result, the conversion of methyl 3-carbamoylisobutyrate was 83.7% and there were obtained methylsuccinic acid ethyl methyl ester at a selectivity of 99.8% and formamide at a selectivity of 98.6%, each based on the reacted methyl 3-carbamoylisobutyrate.
