Product 1

HCID 357793Methyl 6-methoxyhexanoate

Procedure

6-Methoxy-caproic acid (6.17 g) was dissolved in dry methanol (90 ml) containing hydrogen chloride (catalytic amount) and held overnight at room temperature. The solvent was distilled off from the reaction solution under reduced pressure to give methyl 6-methoxy-caproate. Yield; 5.68 g

Workup

  1. distillationThe solvent was distilled off from the reaction solution under reduced pressure
