Production of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, useful as additive in manufacture of e.g. adhesives, paints and plastics, comprises oxidation of isobutyraldehyde followed by reaction with e.g. 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol

摘要

Production of 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate comprises oxidation of isobutyraldehyde in the presence of oxygen without a purification step, followed by reaction of the oxidation product with 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol and/or its monoisobutyrate under esterification conditions.
