Monoepoxycyclododecadiene → Cyclododecanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a reaction example shown in this report, when epoxycyclododecadiene is subjected to a reduction reaction with a hydrogen gas in the presence of a palladium catalyst carried on γ-alumina under a reduced pressure of 1.3 MPa at a reaction temperature of 90° C., cyclododecanol is obtained at a yield of 20%. In the report, a palladium catalyst carried on titania and a palladium catalyst carried on silica were employed. In each case, the yield of the cyclododecanol was less than 20%.
