3,5,5-Trimethylhexanal → 2,2,4,9,11,11-Hexamethyl-6-dodecanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,2,4,9,11,11-Hexamethyl-6-dodecanol (b.p. 104°-110° at 0.18 mm of mercury pressure) was prepared by reacting 1-bromo-3,5,5-trimethylhexane with 3,5,5-trimethylhexanal and converted into 1-[2,2,4,9,11,11-hexamethyl-6-dodecyloxycarbonyl]-1,2,4-triazole of formula: ##STR17## following the procedures of Example 18. This compound was evaluated as an extractant for copper by the procedure of Example 1 and the results are presented in Table 2.
