Sulfuric Acid → HCID 57188236, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A three-neck 5-mL flask fitted with a thermometer, mechanical stirrer, addition funnel, condenser and positive nitrogen atmosphere was charged with EDC (200 mL), isobutyraldehyde (11.3 g, 0.157 mole), and 1,4-dichloro-2,3-butanediol (25.0 g, 0.157 mole). Concentrated sulfuric acid (23.2 g) was added dropwise to the agitated mixture over thirty minutes, during which time a slight exotherm was noticed and the flask was immersed in an ice bath to maintain a reaction temperature of 17°-19° C. Stirring was then continued at ambient temperature (20° C.) for five hours.
