The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a cyano carboxylic acid ester of the formula
wherein
R1 is a linear or branched C1-8 alkanediyl group; and R2 is a linear or branched alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, or an aryl or arylalkyl group, wherein aryl is optionally substituted with one or more C1-8 alkyl groups; comprising reacting a halo carboxylic acid ester of the formula
wherein R1 and R2 are as defined above; and Hal is fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine;
in a reaction mixture comprising a homogeneous liquid phase, wherein the liquid phase consists of water and an organic solvent,
with an alkali metal cyanide in the presence of hydrogen cyanide, optionally in the presence of a catalyst, to obtain the cyano carboxylic acid ester of the formula (I).
本发明涉及一种制备氰基羧酸酯的过程,其化学式为其中R1是直链或支链的C1-8烷二基基团;R2是直链或支链的烷基团、环烷基团或芳基或芳基烷基团,其中芳基可以选择性地与一个或多个C1-8烷基团取代;包括在反应混合物中反应化学式为的卤代羧酸酯其中R1和R2如上定义;Hal是氟、氯、溴或碘;在包含均相液相的反应混合物中,液相由水和有机溶剂组成,与碱金属氰化物在氢氰的存在下反应,可选地在催化剂的存在下,以获得化学式(I)的氰基羧酸酯。
