Abstract

PURPOSE:To efficiently obtain high-purity t-butyl cyanoacetate by purifying crude t-butyl cyanoacetate containing a lower cyanoacetic ester as an impurity using an aqueous solution of an alkali as a catalyst. CONSTITUTION:This method for purifying t-butyl cyanoacetate is to treat crude t-butyl cyanoacetate, obtained by carrying out the transesterification of a lower cyanoacetic ester of the formula NCCH2COOR<1> (R<1> is a 1-3C alkyl) which is an inexpensive readily available raw material with t-butyl alcohol and containing the unreated lower cyanoacetic ester with an aqueous solution of an alkali, preferably a hydroxide or a carbonate of an alkali metal such as Li, Na, K or Rb or ammonia, etc., at 0-100 deg.C. The lower cyanoacetic ester is selectively hydrolyzed and converted into a cyanoacetate to afford the high-purity t-butyl cyanoacetate by simple separating operations such as liquid separation into layers, extraction or distillation. The t-butyl cyanoacetate is useful as an intermediate for medicines, agrochemicals and industrial chemicals.
