One-pot continuous synthesis of menthols from citral was performed over 5 wt % Ni supported on a mesoporous aluminosilicate catalyst with sepiolite as a binder at 70°C with a selectivity of 75% to menthols. Catalyst deactivation with time-onstream resulted in a decrease of the conversion and selectivity to menthol at the expense of higher selectivity to isopulegols. Stereoselectivity to isopulegols and menthols only slightly changed with conversion and TOS. A kinetic model capable of describing exptl. data for transformations of citral to menthol in a continuous mode was developed. It was based on a detailed reaction network and also comprised deactivation on both metal and acid sites. Numerical data fitting confirmed a good correspondence between the exptl. data and calculations This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8Recommanded Product: 106-21-8).
3,7-Dimethyloctan-1-ol (cas: 106-21-8) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are weak acids. The most acidic simple alcohols (methanol and ethanol) are about as acidic as water, and most other alcohols are somewhat less acidic. Grignard and organolithium reagents are powerful tools for organic synthesis, and the most common products of their reactions are alcohols.Recommanded Product: 106-21-8
