A mixture of 148 grams (2.0 moles) of n-butanol and 2.0 grams of 40% benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (Triton B) is combined in a 1 liter 4-neck round bottom flask stirred at reflux while 106 grams (2.0 moles) of acrylonitrile is added at a rate such that the temperature does not exceed 45° C. The mixture is stirred an hour after all the acrylonitrile has been added, made acidic with acetic acid, and fractionated under vacuum through a Vigreux column. The product boils at 75° C./2 mm (literature value: 98° C./20 mm). The product totalled 188.0 grams of 99.0% pure material which constituted a 74.0% yield. The density of the product was determined to be 0.93 grams/ml. The nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra were obtained and were determined to be consistent with the expected structure of the product.
