Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

47.4 g 3-(2-Bromoethoxy)-2-ethyl-acrylic acid methyl ester was hydrogenated in 300 ml methanol in the presence of 8 g 5% moist palladium-carbon catalyst at ambient temperature and pressure. After 75% of the expected amount of hydrogen had been consumed, the hydrogenation mixture was heated at 50° C. while the remaining 25% of the hydrogen was absorbed. When a sample of the filtered reaction mixture was titrated with silver nitrate, only approximately 1.1% of the bromine originally present was found in the form of bromine ions.
