Abstract
A study has been made of the kinetics of hydration of unsaturated C-8 and C-12 alicyclic epoxides (5,6-epoxy-cis-cyclo-octene and 9,10-epoxy -1,5-cis,trans-cyclododecadiene) in a heterophase liquid-liquid system with the use of hydrocarbon solvents. It has been established that th e reactivity of the epoxy group during hydration is determined by feat ures of the conformational structure of the initial molecule. On the b asis of the data obtained, conditions are proposed which ensure the al most complete conversion of the epoxide into the target 1,2-diol when the process is carried out in the presence of catalysts of the acid ty pe.
