摘要

Trans-9-decahydronaphthalene peroxide and cis-a - and cis-b -decahydronaphthalene ketones and alcohols are produced by reacting pure decahydronaphthalene (as defined) with O2 or an O2-containing gas at 80 to 170 DEG C. "Pure decahydronaphthalene" is defined as decahydronaphthalene, consisting of at least 90% of cisdecahydronaphthalene, from which other substances contained in technically pure decahydronaphthalene have been removed. When the process is carried out at 80 to 110 DEG C. for 24 to 72 hours, the conversion kept below 30%, and water produced by secondary reactions immediately removed from the reaction zone, a product rich in trans-9-decahydronaphthalene peroxide is formed. When the process is carried out at 130 DEG to 170 DEG C. for 4 to 24 hours, the main reaction products are cis-a - and cis-b - decahydronaphthalene ketones and alcohols.
