Abstract

Ethers of lactic acid esters are produced by heating a di-acetal of pyruvic aldehyde at above 100 DEG C. in the presence of an acid catalyst such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric and sulphonic acids, and an alcohol. Instead of the di-acetal, there may be used its components, viz. pyruvic aldehyde and more than two molar proportions of alcohol. The acetal may have the formula CH3.CO.CH(OR)2, where R is alkyl, alkoxy-alkyl, aroxy-alkyl or aralkyl, and the alcohol may correspond to the alkyl or substituted alkyl group thereof. Specified acetals are the di-ethyl, isopropyl, butyl, 2-ethyl-hexyl, lauryl, methoxy-ethyl and b -chlorethyl acetals, the corresponding ether of lactic acid ester being ethyl 2-ethoxypropionate, isopropyl - 2 - isopropoxypropionate, butyl 2-butoxypropionate, 2 - ethylhexyl 2 - (2 - ethyl - hexoxy) - propionate, lauryl 2 - lauroxypro - pionate, methoxyethyl 2 - methoxyethoxy - propionate and b -chlorethyl a -b -chlorethoxy-propionate. The products may be separated by selective acid hydrolysis of the unconverted acetal followed by fractionation or recovered as lactic acid ethers by saponification with alcoholic alkali metal hydroxide followed by addition of mineral hydroxide followed by addition of mineral acid. They are useful as solvents and plasticisers for vinyl resins and cellulose esters and ethers. In examples, sulphuric acid is the catalyst used, temperatures being 130-150 DEG C.
