Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 50 m moles (15.9 g) of the above hydroxycarboxylic acid, 0.6 mole (43.2 g) of acrylic acid, 0.3 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, and 0.3 g of hydroquinone in 30 ml of chloroform was refluxed for 30 hours. The reaction solution was disolved in warm ether, and washed with warm water, then concentrated. The concentrate was purified by column chromatography to obtain 6.5 g of the ester compound.
