Cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, cyclooctane, and ethylcyclohexane were selectively carbonylated with CO. The reactions of cycloalkanes with CO at –40 °C in the presence of the superelectrophilic system CBr4·2AlBr3 in CH2Br2 followed by treatment of the reaction mixtures with alcohols afforded esters of 1-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (in the reactions of cycloheptane and methylcyclohexane) or esters of 1-ethylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid (in the reactions of cyclooctane and ethylcyclohexane) in 70—80% yields with respect to CBr4·2AlBr3. The reaction of 1,3-dimethylcyclohexane at –40 °C and the reactions of cyclooctane and ethylcyclohexane and at –20 °C proceeded nonselectively to form four isomeric esters C8H15COOR. |
