Reaction Steps

A reaction flask equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and nitrogen inlet tube was charged with 93.6 grams of 2-butoxyethanol and 21 grams of phthalic anhydride. The mixture was heated under nitrogen for 30 minutes at 130° C. The butoxyethyl monoester of phthalic acid produced was a light yellow liquid which crystallized upon standing at room temperature for about one week.
