Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20.6 g of α-hydroxy-isobutyramide and 204 g of n-hexyl alcohol was heated in the presence of 0.45 g of PbO for 6 hours at 200° C. in an autoclave. On working up by distillation, 19.5 g (= 51.8 percent of theory) of α-hydroxy-isobutyric acid-n-hexyl-ester were obtained. The amide conversion is 75 percent.
