Water → 6-Oxohexanoic acid
Participants
| Role | Name | HCID | Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reactant | Water | HCID 962 | — |
| Reactant | Methyl 6-oxohexanoate | HCID 81164 | — |
| Solvent | Methanol | HCID 887 | — |
| Product | 6-Oxohexanoic acid | HCID 440918 | 74% |
Reaction Steps
36 g of methyl 5-formylvalerate, 90 g of water and 2 g of cation exchanger which consisted of crosslinked polystyrene containing sulfo groups were refluxed for 8.5 hours, the methanol formed being distilled off constantly. Fractional distillation under reduced pressure gave 24 g (74% of theory) of 5-formylvaleric acid.
