Triethylamine → HCID 9899309, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 100-mL SUS316 shaking autoclave, were charged 10 g (0.1 mol) of triethylamine and 59 g (0.5 mol) of methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate as a quaternizing agent, and the autoclave was shaken. After the contents of the autoclave reached 120° C., the temperature was kept there for 8 h to proceed the reaction. The reaction pressure was 0.1 MPa. After the reaction was completed, the reaction liquid was cooled and distilled to remove low-boiling components, thereby obtaining triethylmethylammonium 2-hydroxyisobutyrate at 87.4 mol % yield based on triethylamine. No decomposed product of methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate was detected in the gas chromatographic analysis on the distillate.
