Reaction Steps

In a reactor with a catalyst composed of palladium on carbon at 5% deposited on the walls, 167 g of 7-cyanoethyl-2-oxepanone are heated to 500° C. in a hydrogen atmosphere, collecting 1 g/minute of liquid condensed product mainly formed by 8-cyanooctanoic acid with 95% lactone conversion and 80% selectivity.
