Yield:-
Reaction Conditions:
with acetic anhydride at 80;
Steps:
1.1; 1.2 Stage 1: Itaconic Acid Anhydride
612 g (6.0 mol) of acetic anhydride were placed in a 2-litre three-necked flask with KPG stirrer, 15-Vigreux column and column head and 780 g (6.0 mol) of solid itaconic acid was added while stirring. The mixture was then slowly heated to 80° C. until the solid was dissolved and stirred for another 30 minutes at this temperature. Subsequently, approx. 680 g acetic acid was distilled off at a vacuum between 150 and 10 mbar and a sump temperature of 80 to 82° C. The acetic acid was then removed from the sample. Approx. 690 g of sump bottom product remained, the raw yield being 680 g. The raw product was used directly in stage 2. A 5 g sample of the ester was purified by ball tube distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography and had a composition of 11 wt. % citraconic acid anhydride and 89 wt. % itaconic acid anhydride.
