Selective oxidation of cyclooctane to cyclootanone with molecular oxygen in the presence of compressed carbon dioxide

Abstract

The oxidation of cyclooctane (1) to cyclooctanone (3) with molecular oxygen and acetaldehyde (2) as a co-reductant occurs efficiently in the presence of compressed CO2. Up to 20% yields of 3 are obtained under optimised multiphase conditions.
