Reaction Steps

Using the procedure of Example 1, cyanoacetate acid (85.5 g; 1.00 mol) and isoamyl alcohol (176 g; 2 mol) are reacted in the presence of sulfuric acid (0.49 g; 0.005 mol). Isoamyl cyanoacetate (bp 133/20 mm of Hg) is recovered as a clear liquid. The yield was 150 g (97% of theoretical) and its purity was >99% (GC assay).
