Abstract

PURPOSE: To efficiently obtain a high-purity γ-alkyl-γ-lactone which is useful as a starting substance for perfumes, medicines, agrochemicals, etc., in high yield by reaction of acrylic acid with a specific alcohol in the presence of a di-tert.-butyl peroxide under specific conditions. CONSTITUTION: This γ-alkyl-γ-lactone is obtained by allowing acrylic acid to react with a primary alcohol of 5-10 carbon atoms such as 1-pentanol or a secondary alcohol such as 2-pentanol or their mixture in the presence of a di-tert.-butyl peroxide at 160-190 deg.C under an absolute pressure of 10kg/cm<2> , as low-boiling components are distilled off. The amount of the alcohol in the reaction is preferably 4-7 moles per mole of acrylic acid and the di-tert.-butyl peroxide is 0.04-0.2 mole per mole of acrylic acid.

On the other hand, as a method using an easily available raw material, a method by radical addition reaction of alcohol with acrylic acid or methyl acrylate has been proposed [Izvest. Akad. Nauk. SSSR, Otd. Khim. Nauk., 187x
(1962)]. However, the mere heat reaction as in this method has a problem that the yield of γ-alkyl-γ-lactone is extremely poor at about 20 to 30%. This low yield means that the raw material alcohol is based on acrylic acid or methyl acrylate.
Although it can be improved to some extent by using a large excess of 10 times or more, in this case, the recovery and regeneration of the raw material alcohol is complicated and the productivity is poor, which is economically disadvantageous.

If the pressure in the reaction system is below atmospheric pressure, the temperature in the system will not rise and the amount of the raw material alcohol distilled will be too large, resulting in a decrease in yield. Therefore, this reaction is carried out under pressure, and the degree of pressurization is not particularly limited, but if the pressure is too high, the reaction vessel will be expensive and uneconomical.
