Participants

Reaction Steps

Also, the Drafted Report of 24th Symposium of Development in Reaction and Synthesis, Nov. 5 to 6, 1998, page 68, discloses a method of hydrogenating 1,2-epoxy-5,9-cyclododecadiene with hydrogen at ambient atmospheric pressure and room temperature in the presence of a catalyst comprising palladium carried on a carrier consisting of a carbon material. In this method, cyclododecanol was produced with a yield of 5% and no cyclododecanone was obtained.
