Abstract

Reduction of 12-dodecanolide (l), readily accessible from cyclododecanone, with diisobutylaluminium hydride afforded a 98: 2 mixture of 12-hydroxydodecanaI (3) and 2-oxa- 1-cyclotridecanol (2). Its reaction with triphenyloctadecylphosphorane yielded 12-triaconten- 1-01 (4), the catalytic hydrogenation of which gave a total yield of 68% of I-triacontanol (5) starting from cyclododecanone.
