Participants

Reaction Steps

In an ambient pressure oxygen atmosphere, 25 mg of cyclooctanol and 137 mg of the platinum catalyst obtained in Example 1 were agitated for sixty 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 22.8 mg (93% yield) of cyclooctanone.
