The synthesis of long-chain unbranched aliphatic compounds by molecular doubling

Abstract

A convenient General synthesis, applicable to alkanes and terminally mono- and di-substituted alkanes of any chain length, is described; cyclododecanone is used as the starting material, and the C12 chain is doubled in length as often as required and adjusted first to a multiple of 12, and than to any desired length.
