Reaction Steps

In an autoclave 60 g of a 20 wt % solution of the sodium salt of N-hydroxyhexahydrophthalimide (0.063 mol) and 5.0 g (0.078 mol) of ethyl chloride were mixed together. The mixture was heated to 100° C. After reaching this temperature the mixture was stirred for a further 5 hours while the temperature was maintained at 100° C. After 5 hours' reaction the excess ethyl chloride was blown out and the reaction mixture was discharged. The reaction product was extracted from the mixture with toluene. Gas chromatographic analysis of the toluene extract showed that the yield was 79% of N-ethoxyhexa-hydrophthalimide (0.050 mol).
