Dimethyl Pentadecanedioate → Cyclopentadecanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

The same procedures as described in Example 1 were repeated except that a solution of 110 g of dimethyl n-pentadecanedioate in 250 ml of cyclohexane was used as a starting material. There was obtained 51 g of cyclopentadecanone, which corresponded to 62.1% of a theoretical value based on the starting compound.
