Reaktionsschritte

5.28 Grams (45 mmols) of 6-hydroxyhexanal was charged to a 100 milliliter Schlenk flask and dissolved in 45 milliliters of deionized water by heating to 85-95° C. in a water bath. The resulting solution was charged to the Parr autoclave, placed under 1500 psi O2 and heated to 120° C. Samples were taken every 30 minutes throughout the reaction. After 1.5 hours, reaction conversion was 92% and 6-hydroxycaproic acid was formed in 92% selectivity.
