Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

The methyl 2-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-3-hydroxypropionate was added at from 15° to 20° C. to 438 g (3.68 mol) of thionyl chloride, the temperature was then raised to 60° C. and the mixture was stirred until the evolution of gas had ended. Excess thionyl chloride was distilled off, 0.2 g (0.0025 mol) of pyridine was added to the residue, and the temperature was raised to 135° C. After the evolution of SO2 had ended, distillation gave 317.0 g (1.76 mol) of methyl 2-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-3chloropropionate of boiling point 94° C. 35 mbar, corresponding to a 91% yield, based on methyl 2-methoxymethyl-2-methyl-3-hydroxypropionate.
