3-Methyl-2-butenoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The mesityl oxide and potassium hypochlorite aqueous solution react in dioxane, and the reaction exotherms to reflux the generated chloroform. After the reaction is complete, add sodium bisulfite to react with excess hypochlorite. Acidification with sulfuric acid, extraction with ether, and vacuum distillation of the extract to obtain 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid. The yield is 49-53%.
