Abstract
Rhenium, ruthenium and rhodium oxides, hydrogenolysis catalysts for stearic acid at 150 C, were tried for the conversion of 9,10-dichloro-stearic acid to the dichloro alcohol but only ReO3 was effective in some degree (yield 14%). Dehydrochlorination or hydrogenolysis at the carbon-chlorine bond was the principal reaction. Reductions with diborane or with lithium aluminum hydride, however, were found to be excellent methods for preparing 9,10-dichloro-stearyl alcohol.
