Reaction Steps

Quantities of 1.9 grams alyl allyl chloride dimer, 2.75 grams tetraethyl ammonium bromide, 5.25 grams of triphenyl phosphine, 45 cc allyl alcohol, and 60 cc methyl acrylate are introduced into a reaction chamber and heated to 120°C for 20 hours. Methyl sorbate is produced to the extent of 10% by weight of the final reaction solution.
