Procedure

31.5 g of ethyl L-(+)-lactate and 107.3 g of 1-iodobutane were mixed into a four-necked flask, and freshly synthesized Ag2O was added in 2 hours. After left standing at room temperature for 15 hours, the mixture was diluted with 200 ml of ether, filtered and then ether was evaporated. The residue was washed with 100 ml of an aqueous 5% KOH, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and subjected to vacuum distillation. The fractions at 110° C./54 mmHg were collected to give 23 g of (-)-ethyl-2-butoxypropionate.
