Methyl propionate → Undec-1-en-1-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

In about the same way as described under Example 2, an experiment was carried out with difference being that 10 ml methyl-undecenoate was included in the autoclave instead of 10 ml methylpropionate, while after 5 min hydrogen was added until a pressure increase of 30 bar was reached. The autoclave was kept at 80° C. for 5 hours giving a yield of 2.4 g methanol and about 1 g 1-undecenol.
