Reaction Steps

182 ml (2.5 moles) of thionyl chloride are poured over 218 g (1 mole) of 2,2-bis-acetonxymethyl propionic acid (step 1), followed by refluxing for 8 hours at a batch temperature of approximately 100° C. Excess thionyl chloride is distilled off in a water jet vacuum, leaving a pale yellow, oily product. Yield 236 g (100% of the theoretical).
