A FACILE ELECTROCHEMICAL APPROACH FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF MACROCYCLIC ALKANONES

摘要

Large ring cyclic ketones, e.g. 3-methyl-cyclopentadecanone (muscone), cyclopentadecanone (exaltone), cyclopentadecene-9-ones, cycloheptadecanone (dihydrocivetone), etc. have been found to be important musk components. Hasegawa has found that macrocyclic ketones along with terpenes, e.g. cyclododecanone and limonene were notable effective deodorent in ignition and fire extinguishing of fuel oils. Other notable applications cited in the literature are, the role of cyclodecanone in the preparation of protein non-adsorptive microporous polysulfone memberanes with high strength and flux, used in biotechnology as additives of electrophotographic recording sheets, etc.
