Participants

Reaction Steps

Furfuryl alcohol (196 parts, 2 moles) and 132 parts (1 mole) of ddimethyl malonate are mixed, and 0.5 -0.75 percent of sodium metal added. The mixture is heated to a temperature in the range from 101°-115° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Methanol is evolved and removed as the reaction progressed.
