Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-methylhex-2-enoic acid (formula-3) (20 grams) in dichloromethane (250 ml), 2 ml of dimethyl formamide was added. To this mixture thionyl chloride (24.1 grams) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 2.5 hours at 28-29° C. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0-5° C. and diethyl amine was added to the reaction mixture at 5-8° C. until the pH reached to 8.5. The reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 hours at 0-5° C. The reaction mixture was quenched with water. Separated the aqueous and organic layers. The organic layer was washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate. The solvent was distilled off completely under vacuum to provide the title compound as solid.
