Amine Oxides. VIII. Medium-sized Cyclic Olefins from Amine Oxides and Quaternary Ammonium Hydroxides1,2
摘要:
Thermal decompositions of the N-oxides derived from N,N-dimethyl-1-methylcycloalk,lamines II having eight-, nine- and ten-membered rings yield olefin mixtures containing 98.6, 94.0 and 97.5%, respectively, of 1-methylcycloalkenes. Considerable amounts of the trans isomers are formed from the nine- and ten-membered N-oxides. Pyrolyses of the corresponding quaternary hydroxides produce mixtures of methylenecycloalkanes and 1-methylcycloalkenes (predominantly cis), violation of the Hofmann rule being at a maximum in the decomposition of the nine-membered quaternary hydroxide. Importance of relative product stabilities and the operation of non-bonded interactions are discussed as possible explanations for the observed directions of elimination. Thermal decompositions of the N-oxides and quaternary hydroxides of dimethylcycloalkvimethylamines IV containing eight-, nine- and ten-membered rings proceed as expected with formation of the corresponding methylenecycloalkanes.

The present invention provides a safe, convenient and efficient method for producing carboxylic acid by a reaction of alicyclic alcohol with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide to thereby obtain carboxylic acid in high yield from alicyclic alcohol or alicyclic ketone under mild reaction conditions, wherein the reaction operation is simple and easy, a step for removing solvent after completion of the reaction is not necessary and influence and toxicity upon the environment and human body are markedly small. In order to provide it, an oily alicyclic alcohol is allowed to react with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst containing a metal compound belonging to Group 6 of the Periodic Table in a heterogeneous solution system.
