1-Butanol → Butyl oxoacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.17 g of the butanol solution of glyoxal obtained in Example 2-11, 9.62 g of 1-octanol, and 0.6 g of the above-mentioned metal-loading carrier were put into an autoclave, and an oxidation reaction was conducted by the same operation as in Example 2-11. The reaction solution thus obtained was analyzed, which revealed the glyoxal conversion to be 90%, and the combined 1-octyl glyoxylate and 1-butyl glyoxylate (the product) selectivity and yield to be 74% and 67%, respectively.
