The ethoxycarbonylation of 1-hexanol in one stage with concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst and ethyl formate as acylating and esterifying agent was investigated.The products are mainly ethyl 2,2-dimethylpentanoate, 2-methyl-2-ethylbutyrate, and 2-ethylpentanoate and the corresponding acids.The content of the esters and acids with a quaternary carbon atom at position 2 in the reaction mixture increased with increase in the molar ratio of sulfuric acid to alcohol, with decrease in the molar ratio of ethyl formate to sulfuric acid, with increase in the rate of addition of the alcohol to the sulfuric acid, and with increase in the reaction temperature.
