Abstract
Abstract Cycloalkanemethanols are synthesized via hydrocarbonylation (hydroformylation) of the corresponding cycloalkenes in the presence of aqueous methyl formate. Methyl formate is the source of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is generated by the water gas shift reaction. The selectivity is affected by the concomitant hydrogenation process.
