Preparation of 4-Pentenoic acid,3,3-dimethyl-, methyl ester: it can be prepared by 3-methyl-2-butenol and trimethyl orthoacetate in the presence of catalyst phenol. Add these raw materials into the reactor with stirring. Then heat the mixture to 95 °C and react for 2-3 hours. Next, heat the reaction solution to 140 °C in an hour and react for 20 hours. After this reaction, you should collect 70-71 °C(8.00kPa) fractions through vacuum distillation.
Uses of 4-Pentenoic acid,3,3-dimethyl-, methyl ester: it can react with formic acid to get 3,3-dimethyl-hexanedioic acid 1-methyl ester. This reaction will need reagent CO, catalysts 10 percent Pd/C and dppb and solvent 1,2-dimethoxy-ethane. The reaction time is 24 hours at reaction temperature of 150 °C. The yield is about 80%.
