Synthesis of 4-(trans-4′-n-Propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexylcarboxylic Acid
Abstract:
4-(trans-4′-n-Propylcyclohexyl)cyclohexylcarboxylic acid was prepared by hydrogenation of 4-(trans- 4′- n-propylcyclohexyl)benzoic acid(3HPA) in 10% NaOH solution over Ru/C catalysts.The optimum technological conditions were m(Ru/C)∶m(3HPA)=5∶100,reaction temperature 105 ℃ and reaction pressure 5 MPa.The conversion of 3HPA was 100.0%.
