Reaction Steps

To 10.0 grams (0.05 mole) of 1-nitro-2-decanol and 7.9 grams (0.05 mole) of calcium acetate maintained at 10° C. was added 100 millilliters of acetic acid. Heating for 6 hours at 118° C. and extracting as in Example 1 above, provided 10.7 grams (approximately 90% yield) of 2-acetoxydecanoic acid.
