Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3 mmol of cis-decalin, 18 mmol of biacetyl, 0.3 mmol of N-hydroxyphthalimide, 0.015 mmol of cobalt(II) acetate, and 3 ml of acetic acid was stirred at 75° C. in an oxygen atmosphere (1 atm) for 8 hours. A gas chromatographic analysis of products in a reaction mixture found that 4a-acetyl-cis-decalin (yield: 24%), 4a-hydroxy-cis-decalin (yield: 4%), 4a,8a-dihydroxy-cis-decalin (yield: 22%), 1,6-cyclodecanedione (yield: 10%), and 4a-acetyl-8a-hydroxy-cis-decalin (yield: 5%) were formed with a conversion rate from cis-decalin of 67%.
