Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL flask containing 52.3 g (0.27 mole) ethyl 2-[(1'-ethoxy)propoxy]propanoate at 25° C. is added a mixture of 18.5 g (0.33 mole) potassium hydroxide and 56 g (1.75 moles) methanol. After two hours at 25° C., the reaction mixture is evacuated and a very viscous liquid, 70.8 g, potassium 2-[(1'-ethoxy)propoxy]propanoate is recovered.
