Triethylamine → HCID 9899309, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a 5-L SUS316 autoclave equipped with an electromagnetic stirrer, were charged 505 g (5.0 mol) of triethylamine and 2950 g (25 mol) of methyl 2-hydroxyisobutyrate, and heated under stirring. 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 (Gauge). After the reaction was completed, the reaction liquid was cooled and low-boiling components were removed from the reaction liquid by distillation to obtain triethylmethylammonium 2-hydroxyisobutyrate in 87.4 mol % yield based on triethylamine.
