Example 1
To a four neck round bottom flask fitted with a mechanical stirrer, condenser and charging tube, was charged isovaleraldehyde (1.0 kg, 11.61 mole), cyclohexane (1.35 L), ethyl cynoacetate (1.28 kg, 11.38 mole) and di-n-propylamine (11.74 g). The reaction mass was heated to reflux and water was removed azeotropically. After complete removal of water (˜208 ml), cyclohexane was distilled from the reaction mass followed by removal of traces of cyclohexane under vacuum. The reaction mass was cooled to 30-35° C. and diethyl malonate (2.027 kg, 12.67 mole) was added followed by addition of di-n-propylamine (106.91 g). The reaction mass was heated to 50-55° C. for 3-5 hours and then cooled to 25-30° C. Then hydrobromic acid (47%, 23.76 L) was added and the mass was refluxed at 100-125° C. for 6-10 hours. The reaction mass was cooled to 25-30° C. and extracted with toluene. The toluene was distilled off to obtain 3-isobutylglutaric acid in a yield of 1.54 kg (71%) having GC purity of 93.59%.
