2-Ethyl-2-methylbutanoic acid is a molecule that can be used to produce trimethylacetic acid, which is an intermediate in the production of biodegradable plastic. The trimerization of 2-ethyl-2-methylbutanoic acid to form trimethylacetic acid can be achieved by reacting with trimethylacetate and ethylene. 2-Ethyl-2-methylbutanoic acid can also be converted into formic acid and butyric acid by carbonylation. Zeolites are often used as catalysts during this reaction. 2-Ethyl-2-methylbutanoic acid has the ability to react with alcohols, such as methanol, ethanol, or propanol, and form esters. These reactions occur through a process called esterification.
