Oxygen → 1-Undecanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 3 mL of acetic acid was dissolved 375 mg of 1-undecanol to give a solution, and the solution was combined with 150 mg of the catalyst B10 obtained from Example 22 and 32 mg of N-hydroxyphthalimide, followed by stirring at 100° C. in an oxygen atmosphere at normal atmospheric pressure for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed through gas chromatography to find that undecanoic acid was produced in a yield of 22% with a conversion from 1-undecanol of 44%.
