Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for preparing the 2-bromoglutaric acid diester of formula (I) below: comprising the formation of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid diester of formula (II) by reaction of butyrolactone acid of formula (BA) with the alcohol of formula ROH, in the presence of an acid such as sulfuric acid; and bromination of the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid diester of formula (II), by sparging with gaseous hydrobromic acid. The present invention also relates to a 2-bromoglutaric acid diester of formula (I), having a degree of purity determined by HPLC analysis of greater than or equal to 90%.
