Abstract
A process for preparing malonic diesters by carbonylation of haloacetic esters and reaction with monohydric alcohols and a base in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, preferably a catalytic cobalt carbonyl complex, using a stirred reactor with one or more internal heat exchangers. The stirred reactor preferably contains a sparging stirrer.
Claims13
A process for preparing malonic diesters represented by formula I by carbonylation:
- 7
- wherein
- R1 and R2 are each, independently of one another, an unbranched or branched alkyl or alkenyl group, a cycloalkyl group or an aralkyl group having from 1 to 30 carbon atoms, comprising:
- reacting a haloacetic ester represented by formula II:
- 8
- wherein
- R1 is as defined above;
- and
- Hal is a halogen atom, with carbon monoxide, a monohydric alcohol represented by the formula R2OH, wherein R2 is as defined above, and a base, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst,
- wherein the reaction is conducted in a stirred reactor having at least one internal heat exchanger.
