4-Methylnonanoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The reaction of hept-1-ene with EtMgCl in the presence of TaCl5–(i-OPr)3P catalyst [EtMgCl–hept-1-ene–TaCl5-(i-OPr)3P, 24:20:1; TaCl5-(i-OPr)3P, 1:1; EtMgCl concentration 0.5 mM in THF; 20°C; 3 h] in THF at room temperature formed organomagnesium compound 2. For this, a solution of EtMgCl (12 mmol) in THF (24 mL) was treated with hept-1-ene (10 mmol, 1.4 mL), TaCl5 (0.2 g, 0.5 mmol), and (i-OPr)3P (0.1 g, 0.5 mmol). CO2 was slowly passed through the resultingmixture at 0°C for 3 h. The mixture was treated with HCl solution (15 mL, 10percent) to afford carboxylic acid 3 (1.7 g, 97percent, bp 272°C at 750 mm Hg) with IR spectrum (, cm–1): 1710; PMR spectrum (, ppm): 0.88–0.92 (2H, m), 1.16–1.52 (10H, m), 1.56–1.80 (1H, m), 2.28–2.38 (2H, m), 11.40 (1H, s); 13C NMR spectrum (, ppm): 14.03, 19.75, 23.19, 28.30, 31.83, 31.97, 32.27, 33.10, 37.10, 179.37), which was extracted with Et2O (3 50 mL). The extract was dried over anhydrous MgSO4 and evaporated.
