To this end, the 180.5 g of 10-bromodecanoic acid from Step II was added to the 11 reactor (described above) along with 645 g of absolute ethanol. The mixture was heated and stirred for about 3.5 h. GC analysis confirmed that reaction was completed when 10-bromodecanoic acid could not be detected. Next, excess ethanol and residual water were removed through evaporation leaving 197.8 g of 94.9% pure ethyl 10-bromodecanoate residue. 150 g MTBE was added to the ethyl 10-bromodecanoate residue which then was washed repeatedly with 10% sodium carbonate solution followed by water. The mixture was phase separated to obtain 340.7 g of a mixture of ethyl 10-bromodecanoate and MTBE. According to GC analysis the yield from Steps II and III was 89.7%.
