Alkaline cleavage of hydroxy unsaturated fatty acids and derivatives. II 10‐hydroxydecanoic acid from ricinoleates and 1,10‐decanediol from ricmoleyl alcohol

Abstract: The 10‐hydroxydecanoic acid is formed in good yield when raw castor oil or methyl ricinoleate is fused with alkali in the presence of a high‐boiling unhindered primary or secondary alcohol at 185–195C bath temperature. When non‐reducing solvents or hindered alcohols are used, large amounts of sebacic acid form. Iso‐octanol (mixed isomers) is a suitable and potentially economical medium for producing high yields of 10‐hydroxydecanoic acid. Cleavage of ricinoleyl alcohol produces 1,10‐decanediol.

“…It was disclosed that the major products are 10-hydroxydecanoic acid 8 and 2-octanone 7 at lower reaction temperatures (180-200 7C) and long reaction times (,13 h) with a caustic (NaOH or KOH)/methyl ricinoleate or castor oil ratio of 1 : 1 [61,77,94]. The 10-hydroxydecanoic acid is formed in good yield if the reaction is performed in the presence of a high-boiling unhindered primary or secondary alcohol [96,97]. For instance, iso-octanol (mixed isomers) is a suitable and potentially economical medium for producing high yields of 10-hydroxydecanoic acid.…”

“…It was for instance claimed that, as the reaction continues, the aldehydo acid can be converted irreversibly to sebacic acid. Moreover, the aldehydo acid can accept hydrogen from ricinloeic acid to be converted to a b,g-keto acid, which recycles into the system and gives rise to the 10-hydroxydecanoic acid 7 [96,97]. Furthermore, it is reported that using two equivalents of NaOH at 190-200 7C in ethanol as solvent yields up to 69% of pure 10-hydroxydecanoic acid [98].…”
