New transformation of cycloalkanone acetals by peracids , – dicarboxylic acids synthesis

摘要

A new process of oxidation of cycloalkanone acetals under the action of in situ generated performic acid has been found. The main products of the reaction are , -dicarboxylic acids obtained with the yield up to 77% depending on the size of acetals ring. The process has been explored and optimized on the example of the dodecanedioic acid synthesis (a valuable industrial product).
