Yield: 432 mg
Reaction Conditions:
at 210; for 2 h;Inert atmosphere;
Steps:
Afterward, a mixture of dimethyl 2-(2-methylbutyl)malonate (3.7 mmol), an aqueous solution of NaOH (15 mmol in 40 mL), and EtOH (10 mL) was stirred and refluxed for 4 hours. EtOH was evaporated, the water layer was washed with Et2O (2 × 50 mL), then acidified with 1 M HCl and extracted with Et2O (5 × 50 mL). Combined ether extracts were concentrated under reduced pressure to yield crude 2-(2-methylbutyl)malonic acid (616 mg) that was subsequently decarboxylated by heating at 210 °C for 2 hours under nitrogen. The obtained dark oil was purified by dry-flash chromatography on SiO2 using mixtures of the increasing polarity of hexane and EtOAc as the eluent to give pure 4-methylhexanoic acid (432 mg).
