PCT No. PCT/EP94/01864 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 18, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 18, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 8, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/29258 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 22, 1994A process for producing an omega-functionalized aliphatic carboxylic acid starting from cyclohexanone and omega-functionalized alpha -olefins or acrylic esters. The process comprises an addition step, an oxidation step, an isomerization step, and one or more hydrogenation steps. The process allows to use raw materials that are available at low cost and to achieve high selectivity and high yield with industrially simple steps. The process includes the production of new intermediate products, including 2-oxepanone-7-substituted products.
