Procedure

The procedure described in Example 1 was followed except that 50 g of a 25% solution of ammonium succinate was combined with 50 g dodecanol. The reaction mixture was heated for 3 hours at 105–110° C. and a reduced pressure of 1.1–2.2 mm Hg, resulting in a conversion of about 99% from ammonium succinate to a mixture of succinic acid plus succinic acid ester.
