Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 50 g of decane-1,10-diol in 300 ml of 48% aqueous hydrobromic acid was heated at 90° C. for 24 hours while the solution was extracted continuously with petroleum ether 100-140. After cooling to room temperature, the petroleum ether solution was evaporated and the residue was purified by distillation. Boiling point 121°-124° C. (0.1 mm Hg).
