Abstract

Failure to prepare long chain alcohol esters of vanillic acid by direct esterification procedures from vanillic acid led to investigation of the hydrolysis of iminoether hydrochlorides obtained by treating vanillonitrile with long chain alcohols and hydrogen chloride. Hydrolysis of these with water alone gave good yields of the normal hydrolysis products, namely, long chain alkyl vanillates and ammonium chloride. Small amounts of ...
