Reaction Steps

Into a 25 cc micro flask equipped with spin bar, hot plate (having built in magnetic stirrer), thermometer and reflux condenser are placed 5 grams (0.2874 moles) methyl-4-(allylthio)butyrate; 8.5 grams (0.1149 moles) of isobutanol and 0.05 grams of para-toluene sulfonic acid. The reaction mass is heated to reflux and maintained at reflux for a period of 14.33 hours. At the end of the refluxing period, the reaction mass is cooled to room temperature and charged to a distillation flask and distilled on a micro Vigreux column yielding the following fractions:
