Reaktionsschritte

After placing 0.008 mole of cobalt octanoate in a stainless steel autoclave having a capacity of 100 ml, 1 hour's stirring was conducted at a temperature of 160°C while applying first a pressure of 10 Kg/cm2 with hydrogen and then applying a pressure of 150 Kg/cm2 to thereby prepare a catalyst. Meanwhile, after placing 0.65 mole of decene-1, 0.08 mole of γ-picoline and 0.5 mole of methanol in a stainless steel autoclave having a capacity of 300 ml, a pressure of 30 Kg/cm2 was applied thereto with carbon monoxide. Subsequently, the previously prepared catalyst was added to the contents of the latter autoclave, and 5 hours' reaction of the mixture was effected at a temperature of 160°C under the same pressure, or 30 Kg/cm2. The yield rate of methyl undecanoate obtained through distillation of the reacted mixture was 35%.
