Abstract

Cycloheptanols labelled symmetrically with deuterium in inaccessible positions were prepared by multistep syntheses. The key intermediates of the syntheses were the corresponding labelled octanedioic acids. The method of two-phase oxidation of olefins to carboxylic acids was modified so that it would be utilizable for the preparation of dicarboxylic acids.
