Reaction Steps

To a well-stirred reaction vessel equipped with a thermometer and a pH electrode were added 45 g of water, 0.075 mole of a 33 wt % aqueous NaOH solution, 0.075 mole of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, and 0.23 g of Arquad CB50 (i.e. cocobenzyldimethylammonium chloride, ex Akzo Nobel) at 5° C. 0.075 mole of methyl chloroformate was dosed in 5 min at 5° C. The mixture was post-reacted for 30 min at 5° C. and a pH of 8. Then, the water layer was separated, giving 15.2 g of 2-ethylhexanoyl methyl carbonate having a content of 99.5% (determined by NMR) in a yield of 99.6%.
