Cyclododecanone → 13-Oxabicyclo[10.1.0]tridecane

Participants

Reaction Steps

After the reaction was completed, the catalyst was removed from the reaction product mixture by filtering, and the reaction product mixture was subjected to gas chromatographic analysis. As a result, it was found that cyclododecanol was obtained in a yield of 6 molar % based on the fed epoxycyclododecadiene, and cyclododecanone was obtained in a yield of 76 molar %. Thus, the total yield of cyclododecanol and cyclododecanone was 82 molar %. In the reaction, epoxycyclododecane was produced in a yield of 16 molar %.
