8-Hydroxyoctanoic acid Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: All experiments to test the catalytic activity were performed in a Schlenk tube (50mL vol.) attached to a condenser. The catalytic activity was evaluated for HDO oxidation in basic aqueous media with HGeneral procedure: Lactone was dissolved in dioxane 2 ml, and 15 ml of a 3M NaOH solution was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solution was washed with ethyl acetate to remove some organic impurities. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH 3–4 with concentrated HCl 37percent and then extracted with ethyl acetate(2 × 50 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated NaCl (2 × 50 ml), dried with Na2SO4, and filtered. The organic layer was concentrated in vacuo to yield a yellow oil.
