Procedure
The procedure described in Example 1 was followed except that 10 g of a 25% solution of ammonium succinate was combined with 80 g tricaprylamine and 20 g dodecanol. The reaction mixture was heated for 2 hours at 120–150° C. and atmospheric pressure, resulting in a conversion of about 98% from ammonium succinate to a mixture of succinic acid and succinic acid ester.
Workup
- temperatureThe reaction mixture was heated for 2 hours at 120–150° C.
