METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF OCTA-2,7-DIENE-1-OL Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology. SUBSTANCE: method involves hydrodimerization reaction of 1,3-butadiene with water in the presence of transient metal in metallic form or its compounds being metal is taken from the group including palladium, nickel, platinum, cobalt and rhodium, water-soluble tertiary or quaternary phosphorus compound and at least a single nitrogen compound. The indicated reaction is carried out in the presence of carbon dioxide and nitrogen compound is taken from tertiary amine or quaternary ammonium salt of the general formula (I) or (II): N(R_p,R_q)-R_r or N(R_p,R_s,R_q)-R_r-OH^- where R_p,R_q and, respectively, R_s are similar or distinct each of other and each is a methyl or ethyl group; R_r is alkyl containing from 6 to 22 carbon atoms. EFFECT: high yield of the end compounds and selectivity of process, simplified technology, stable catalyst using. 10 cl, 6 tbl, 33 ex
