E. Balbolov et M. Mitkova, Some kinetic aspects regarding the preparation of 1-(2-methoxyethoxy)cyclododeca-2,6,10-triene, REACT KIN C, 67(1), 1999, pp. 191-196
The reaction of (E,E,E)-2,6,10-cyclododecatrien-1-yl acetate with 2-methoxy
ethanol catalyzed by Pd-0(PPh3)(4) was studied in tetrahydropyran solutions
at 358K. The selectivity of the unsaturated ether at conversion of allyl a
cetate up to 68.1% ranged within 92.1-98.5%. The product composition was re
lated to kinetic equations which can be used for reactor design.
