production method | 1.2-ethyl butanol is oxidized to form an acid. 2-ethyl butyric acid was obtained by the reaction of 2.3-pentanol with anhydrous formic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid. It is formed by catalytic oxidation of diethylacetaldehyde. From diethyl malonic acid by decarboxylation reaction. |
