SYNTHESIS OF 1-METHYLHEPTYL ACETATE


  • A mixture of 2-bromooctane (3.86 g, 0.02 mol), acetic acid (1.8 g, 0.03 mol), DBU (4.56 g, 0.03 mol) and benzene (40 ml), is refluxed for 10 hours. 
  • The reaction mixture is then washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and distilled to give 1-methylheptyl acetate, b.p. 87° C/20mmHg, 3.1 g (91%); p.m.r. spectrum (CC1 4 ,TMS) 50.9-1.3 (m, 16H), 1.98 (s,3H)and4.8(m,lH).
