Adipic Acid → HCID 21972169, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 20 mmol of adipic acid, 2 mmol of 1-octene, 0.04 mmol of manganese(II) acetate, 0.002 mmol of cobalt (II) acetate and 2 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 90° C. in an atmosphere of a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and oxygen (9:1) (1 atm=0.101 MPa) for 3 hours. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed to find that 2-octyladipic acid and 2, 5-dioctyladipic acid were produced in yields of 14% and 1%, respectively, with a conversion from 1-octene of 33%.
