Reaction Steps
The procedure of Example 1 was repeated using 70 g (304 mmols) of dodecanedioic acid 13.2 g (100 mmols) of tetralin, 0.16 g (0.71 mmols) of Pd(OAc)2, 0.42 g (1.42 mmols) of Sb(OAc)3, 0.07 g (0.71 mmols) of KOAc and 5 ml heptane. Reaction mixture was heated and the temperature of the reaction was maintained at 178±2° C. Oxygen was bubbled continuously at a rate of 200 cc/min. Reaction was carried out for 3 hrs. during which time the water produced was removed azeotropically with heptane. Reaction mixture was analyzed by GLC which showed the formation of 3.65% (by wt.) naphthyl dodecanedioate. Only a trace of naphthalene formed in the reaction.
