Abstract
3-Hydroxytetradecanoic acid was synthesized by a five-step reaction from epichlorohydrin in overall yield of 52.48%.The decyl chloride was used instead of 1-bromodecane to produce Grignard reagent to reduce production of the byproduct eicosane;intermidiate 1-chloro-2-hydroxytridecane was used directly to react with sodium cyanide,which could avoid generating virulent hydrocyanic acid.
