Procedure

The procedure described in Example 1 was followed except that the reaction solution consisted of 31 g of a 70% solution of triethylammonium lactate, 90 g tricaprylamine, and 12 g decanol. The reaction mixture was heated for 1.5 hours at 50–55° C. and a reduced pressure of 1.1–1.6 mm Hg, resulting in a conversion of about 94% from triethylammonium lactate to lactic acid.
