Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to improved methods of performing ozonolysis by reductive quenching of the intermediate ozonides using glyoxal as the reductant.
Claims23
A method for reductive quenching of primary and/or secondary ozonides to yield aldehyde and/or ketone products using glyoxal as the reducing agent, wherein the method comprises the step of treating an ozonide mixture (e.g., primary and/or secondary ozonides) with glyoxal (e.g., 40% aqueous glyoxal);
- wherein the ozonide mixture is derived from the ozonolysis of a monounsaturated or polyunsaturated terpene, fatty acid, or fatty acid ester, or derived from the ozonolysis of an aliphatic or cyclic alkene.
A method for performing ozonolysis with reductive quenching using glyoxal as the reducing agent, wherein the method comprises a first step of treating an alkene with ozone to form an ozonide mixture (e.g., primary and/or secondary ozonides), and a second step of treating the ozonide mixture from the first step with glyoxal (e.g., 40% aqueous glyoxal) to yield aldehyde and/or ketone products;
- wherein the alkene is a monounsaturated or polyunsaturated terpene, fatty acid, or fatty acid ester, or wherein the alkene is an aliphatic or cyclic alkene.
