Oxygen → 2-Pinanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 25 milliliters of acetonitrile were added 1.38 grams (10 millimoles) of pinane, 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 in an oxygen atmosphere at a temperature of 100° C. for six hours. Pinane was transformed into 2-pinanol (selectivity for pinane 91%, yield 82%) with a transformation rate of 90%.
