Reaction Steps

20 g of bromoacetic acid, 22 g of n-decyl alcohol, and 2.5 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid were added to 150 ml of toluene, and the azeotropic dehydration was carried out for 1.5 hours. After cooling the mixture by allowing it to stand, the toluene was removed under reduced pressure and then vacuum distillation was performed, to obtain 41 g of n-octyl bromoacetate (121° C., 10 mmHg).
