Reaction Steps

A mixture of 32.06 g of 200 proof ethanol and 4.325 g of 98% sodium succinate was prepared and heated to 30° C. H2SO4 (2.5386 g, 98%) was then added to the ethanol/sodium succinate slurry while stirring to produce free succinic acid and sodium sulfate. Following the procedure described in Example 1, a conversion of 86.6% of sodium succinate was obtained after 24 hours.
