Reaction Steps
To a 250 mL flask containing 38.0 g (0.20 moles) ethyl 2-[(1'-ethoxy)ethoxy]propanoate at 23° C. is added a solution of 14.8 g (0.264 moles) KOH, 30.0 g (1.667 moles) water and 10.0 g (0.217 moles) ethanol over a 30 minute period. Maintaining ±23° C., the solution is stirred for one hour, then extracted with 20 g hexane. The aqueous phase is then stripped of all solvent under vacuum. A constant weight of 43.7 g potassium 2-[(1'-ethoxy)ethoxy]propanoate is obtained as a yellowish viscous liquid.
