Participants

Reaction Steps

In a mixing vessel, trioctylamine and L-lactic acid with an optical purity of 99% L-lactic acid was converted by heating to form trioctyl ammonium lactate. This was placed in a distillation vessel that was equipped with a reducing Liebig cooler and an Anschütz-Thiele distillation adaptor. Furthermore, 1 percent by mass (relative to lactic acid) dibutyltin oxide was placed as catalyst in the recipient vessel.
