Regioselective oxidation of adsorbed alkyl hydrogen succinates by ozone in Freon 11
Abstract
The hydrogen succinates of 6-methylheptan-2-ol (1), 3,7-dimethyloctanol (3), adamantan-2-ol (6), cyclododecanol, undecanol, and the isomeric decalols, (8) and (10), when adsorbed on silica-gel, undergo regioselective oxidation at positions remote from the binding site when treated with ozone in Freon 11.
