Abstract

A new, convergent synthesis and process of the title open-chain C-9 compounds, valuable monomers for preparation of polyamides with specific properties, are discussed. Starting from relatively inexpensive raw materials, for example, cyclohexanone and activated C-3 olefins, the method provides polymer grade ω-functionalized nonanoic acids. An improved protocol for cyanoethylation or carbalkoxyethylation of cyclohexanone in the presence of a ...
