Participants

Reaction Steps

To 10 milliliters of acetic acid were added 1.5 grams (10 millimoles) of tricyclo[4.3.1.12,5 ]undecane, 0.13 gram (0.8 millimole) of N-hydroxyphthalimide and 0.015 gram (0.06 millimole) of Co(AA)2, and the resultant mixture was stirred under an oxygen atmosphere at 75° C. for 15 hours. As a result, tricyclo[4.3.1.12,5 ]undecane was transformed, with a transformation rate of 99%, into 1-hydroxytricyclo[4.3.1.12.5 ]undecane (selectivity for tricyclo[4.3.1.12,5 ]undecane 24%, yield 24%) and dihydroxy-tricyclo[4.3.1.12,5 ]undecane (selectivity for tricyclo[4.3.1.12,5 ]undecane 75%, yield 75%). A selectivity for the alcohols was 99 percent.
