Dibutyl fumarate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Fumaric acid (20.0 g, 172 mmol) was dissolved in n-butanol (250 mL). (0170) Concentrated sulfuric acid (2.5 mL) was then added dropwise. After stirring at 120 °C for 16 hours, the residual n-butanol was removed in vacuo. Ethyl acetate (100 mL) was then added to the residue, and the solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate (20 mL) solution twice, and deionized water (20 mL) once. The organic layer was then dried over MgS0General procedure: To a well stirred mixture of amino acid (80 mmol, or anhydride), alcohol (180 mmol) and acetoniitrile (162 mmol), added sulfuric acid (98percent, 94 mmol, 5 mL) at room temperature and temperature maintained between 80-85°C for 16–18 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and added to 20percent sodium carbonate solution (100 mL). The reaction mass was extracted in CH2Cl2 (50 mL × 2). The combined organic layer was washed with water (100 mL), dried over sodium sufate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain product (60–99percent). Most example gave NMR pure product. Where minor impurities are formed, the product was purified over silica gel using ethyl acetate: petroleum ether (1:9).Reference Example 2Preliminary Experiments on the Direct Esterification of Various Dicarboxylic Salts with ButanolVarious alkali metal and alkaline earth metal salts of succinic acid and the diammonium salt of fumaric acid were esterified with butanol in a stirred flask (10 g of salt+1 g of pTsOH in BuOH, reflux for 96 h). The experimental results are compiled in the table below.The inventive result of the conversion of diammonium succinate is also listed once again for comparison.It is observed that, surprisingly, none of the succinic salts tested additionally is converted to the desired diester. The ammonium salt of fumaric acid was thus esterifiable with a lower yield than the corresponding succinic salt.;
