Procedure

11.5 gm (0.5 mole ) of sodium were dissolved in 150 ml of ethanol. 44 gm (0.25 mole) of 2-methyl-2-ethyl-hexanoyl chloride were slowly added under agitation to the solution of sodium ethylate at O° to 5° C. The mixture was subsequently agitated for 3 hours at room temperature, filtered, absorbed in ether, washed neutral with water, dried, reduced, and fractionated in vacuo. The ethyl 2-methyl-2-ethyl-hexanoate was obtained in the form of a colorless oil having a fruity/fresh odor with a fragrance of apple and camomile.
