반응 단계

A mixture of 3 mmol of ethyl acrylate, 3 ml of 2-propanol, 0.6 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.015 mmol of cobalt(II) acetate, and 0.045 mmol of acetylacetonatocobalt(III), and 1 ml of acetonitrile was stirred at 50° C. in an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 5 hours. A gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture revealed that ethyl 2,4-dihydroxy-4-methylpentanoate and α-hydroxy-γ,γ-dimethyl-γ-butyrolactone were formed in yields of 35% and 35%, respectively. The conversion rate from ethyl acrylate was 81%.
