Preparation of Ethyl caprylate: it can be prepared by octanoic acid and ethanol through esterification reaction. Add octanoic acid, ethanol and a small amount concentrated sulfuric acid into the reactor. Then this reaction should reflux for 5 hours with haeting. And then after a series of neutralization by sodium hydroxide and distillation you can get the desired product.

Uses of Ethyl caprylate: it can be used to get 2-methyl-non-1-ene and nonan-2-one. This reaction will need reagent trimethylstannylmethyllithium. The yield is about 58% at reaction temperature of -78 °C.
