Carbon Dioxide → 1,7-Octadien-3-ol

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture composed of 0.5 mol of 1,3-butadiene, 1 mol of water, 0.6 mol of carbon dioxide, 0.5 milli-mol of bis(acetylacetone) palladium, 2.0 milli-mol of triphenyl phosphine, and 63 ml of dimethylformamide was placed in an electromagnetic induction rotary type autoclave made of stainless steel having an internal volume of 0.3l, and subjected to reaction for three hours at a temperature of 90° C. Analysis of the resulted liquid reaction product through gas chromatography revealed that 0.153 mol of 2,7-octadien-1-ol, and 0.019 mol of 1,7-octadien-3-ol were produced.
