Cyclododecanone is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)11CO. It is a cyclic ketone that exists as a white solid at room temperature. Like its smaller analogs but unlike the larger ones, it has a camphor-like odor. [1]

Contents

History and synthesis

It was first obtained by Ružička et al. in 1926 by ketonic decarboxylation. [2] A higher-yield method by acyloin condensation was devised by Prelog et al. in 1947. [3]

It is now industrially produced by the oxidation of cyclododecane via cyclododecanol. [4]

Uses

Cyclododecanone is oxidized on an industrial scale to give the corresponding dicarboxylic acid 1,12-dodecanedioic acid and laurolactam, which are precursors to certain specialized nylons. [5] It is also precursor to cyclohexadecanone, which is used in some fragrances. [6]

Hydrazone formation with pimagedine leads to a hypoglycemic formula. [7] Notice that the shape of the molecule can be made to appear like a pharmacy cross symbol.

α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compound Functional group of organic compounds

α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds are organic compounds with the general structure (O=CR)−Cα=Cβ−R. Such compounds include enones and enals, but also carboxylic acids and the corresponding esters and amides. In these compounds, the carbonyl group is conjugated with an alkene. Unlike the case for carbonyls without a flanking alkene group, α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are susceptible to attack by nucleophiles at the β-carbon. This pattern of reactivity is called vinylogous. Examples of unsaturated carbonyls are acrolein (propenal), mesityl oxide, acrylic acid, and maleic acid. Unsaturated carbonyls can be prepared in the laboratory in an aldol reaction and in the Perkin reaction.
