Reaction Steps

336 g (2.00 mol) of 1-dodecene were reacted with 236 g of formic acid and 185 g of a 50% strength aqueous H2O2 solution in accordance with Example 4. 412 g of ethanol were employed for the Marlon AS3 acid-catalyzed transesterification, and the main fraction obtained after the workup by distillation was 99.5% pure, virtually odorless 1,2-dodecanediol.
