Oxygen → Cyclooctanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

In an ambient pressure oxygen atmosphere, 26.4 mg of cyclooctanol and 34.1 mg of the platinum catalyst obtained in Example 1 were agitated for twelve hours at 60° C. in 2 ml of water. The reaction mixture was subsequently extracted using ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was dried using magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to obtain 22.6 mg (87% yield) of cyclooctanone. The reaction equation and the analytical results of the product are shown below.
