PRODUCTION OF CYCLOALKANOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a cycloalkanol from a cycloalkene in high yield. SOLUTION: The production of a cycloalkanol is carried out in the coexistence ofα-hydroxy carboxylic acids and/orα-keto carboxylic acids each having a benzene ring in the method for producing a cycloalkanol by a hydration of a cycloalkene under the presence of a solid acid catalyst.
