Cycloheptanone is used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. == Synthesis == In 1836, French chemist Jean-Baptiste Boussingault first synthesized cycloheptanone from the calcium salt of dibasic suberic acid. The destructive distillation of calcium suberate yields calcium carbonate and suberone: :Ca(O2C(CH2)6CO2) → CaCO3 + (CH2)6CO Cycloheptanone is still produced by the cyclization and decarboxylation of suberic acid or suberic acid esters. This reaction is typically conducted in the gas phase at 400–450 °C over alumina doped with zinc oxide or cerium oxide. Cycloheptanone is also produced by the reaction of cyclohexanone with sodium ethoxide and nitromethane. The resulting sodium salt of 1-(nitromethyl)cyclohexanol is added to acetic acid and shaken with hydrogen gas in the presence of W-4 Raney nickel catalyst. Sodium nitrite and acetic acid are then added to give cycloheptanone. Cycloheptanone is also prepared by ring expansion of cyclohexanone with diazomethane as the methylene source.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cycloheptanone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
